Design by Nature: Using Universal Forms and Principles in Design surveys nature and its creations and offers a design and computer-oriented connection between nature's designs and human efforts. It considers relationships between design and art, showing how to blend nature's patterns and shapes into design purposes and how to understand design elements and their interrelationships. Chapters offer black and white and color examples of these universal forms, cover everything from logo design to color, and make for an outstanding survey recommended for any designer's library.
