A WORLD OF PATTERN

by Gwen White ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 1, 1958

Unappealing designs in strident colors illustrate the author's credo that. . . ""Fitness of purpose is necessary as a really good design can be ruined when put in the wrong place"". Her examples of patterns taken from Nature and their implementation of design principles -- radiation, symmetry, balance, contrast and variety seem to this reader to be in contradistinction to her thesis. The derived motifs are trite and dated. The only redemption in this inferior guide book to pattern design is a glossary of terms.
