Design Dictionary: Perspectives on Design Terminology

by Michael Erlhoff (Editor)

This dictionary provides a stimulating and categorical foundation for a serious international discourse on design. It is a handbook for everyone concerned with design in career or education, who is interested in it, enjoys it, and wishes to understand it.
110 authors from Japan, Austria, England, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United States, and elsewhere have written original articles for this design dictionary. Their cultural differences provide perspectives for a shared understanding of central design categories and communicating about design. The volume includes both the terms in use in current discussions, some of which are still relatively new, as well as classics of design discourse. A practical book, both scholarly and ideal for browsing and reading at leisure.

پر از مدخل‌های جذاب که هر کدوم رو متخصص امر به سرپرستی و ویرایش میشاییل ارل هاف نوشته.
برای آشنایی با سبک‌ها، حوزه‌ها،جنبش‌ها و مفاهیم کلی دیزاین بسیار مناسبه.

مشکلی که اغلب کتاب‌های این حوزه دارن ترجمه و یکدست نبودن ترم‌های تخصصیه. البته که کتاب‌های نشر مشکی به نسبت خیلی تروتمیزتره.

ستاره‌ها رو هم بابت ترجمه کم کردم چون علاوه‌بر اینکه ترجمه از زبان اصلی نیست و ایراد هم داره و گاهی حتی نامفهومه.

What's the difference between a font and a typeface? 🙃

definitely a great place to start...specially if you're a beginer like me in designing aea.
the book is very well put...synonyms...related expressions & related topics...further Reference guides ...even controversial theories about the each issue ....they're all included.
I guess I've been lucky to have it as a start...since it got published just couple years ago.
