Description
Swiss designer Karl Gerstner's Designing Programmes is a seminal work in graphic design and typography. First published in 1964, it has been reissued by Lars Müller Publishers with its original design. This book provides a fundamental introduction to Gerstner's design methodology and proposes a system for making aesthetic decisions in early computer-era design. Gerstner's innovation lies in proposing a rule set that determines all aesthetic decisions for a given product. The book features examples from various fields, including graphic and product design, music, architecture, and art. With its unique approach, Designing Programmes remains relevant today, particularly in the context of current developments in computational design. This collection of four essays offers insight into Gerstner's design philosophy and invites readers to explore his ideas further. With its concise format and wealth of examples, Designing Programmes is an essential resource for designers seeking to understand the principles of effective design.
