If you release a chip from one of the five coloured boards and place it on a different-coloured background, its color suddenly appears different to the one it had in its previous environment. Why is that? "Colorondo" provides a hands-on experience of the phenomenon of simultaneous contrast heightening. Pages of instructions are quite superfluous, as you don t need theory to observe the amazingly versatile interaction of colours. All you need is a keen eye and a willingness to try out different variations. There are 79 possible combinations for each of the 80 colours.

Themes

"Tools for the Design Revolution" critically examines the history and influences on current design trends, giving practical guidelines and tools for creating sustainable design processes into the future. The 'tools' are strategies for sustainable design informed by the challenges of social, cultural and ecological change. Finding new design ideas in terms of concept and product is becoming more and more important. In the past, design was dictated by the professional minority within narrow confines. In the future, design will be an expression of the collective, finding expression and meaning within a shared identity, social trends and popular culture, and terms like "cradle to cradle" or "open source design" refer to a changing understanding of the creative process. Moving with the times, becoming fluid, exploring experimental strategies and ideas in combination with more traditional methods is the key to change. Design is not just a product, it plays a vital role in shaping contemporary society, giving rise to a global identity and sense of belonging, translating who we are and what we want. "Tools for the Design Revolution" challenges the individual to think about sustainability and consumer culture and how that might look.

Our world is developing in the fast lane, becoming more complex by the second. What challenges are pace and complexity bringing for product design? Rapidly shrinking resources and ever-more-fierce global competition are in any case forcing us to rethink the entire design process. What significance do form, function, feel and appearance have? Is the only important factor the constant drive to make it new at all costs, or is the aim rather to marry the tried-and-tested and the innovative and establish an efficient link, a working relationship between them? Arman Emami has set out with the intention of writing short, clear and entertaining texts. The book comprises a comprehensive view of relevant matters relating to industrial design. Development steps from idea to mass production are described gradually and supported by illustrated examples of good practices. A working compendium not only for design students and young designers, but also a guide book for creative lateral thinkers, product and marketing managers and all those who are interested in intelligent design. Complex processes are displayed in an entertaining and easily understandable way.
