These thought pieces offer a vast taste of the aesthetic, political, historical, and personal issues that move today's global design community and fans.
Reviews
After scanning through a few pages of a sample of the Kindle edition of _Design Literacy_, and discovering the full book was only 99 cents, I decided to purchase it. I was disappointed to discover the examples are tiny, low resolution black-and-white images. Seems an odd choice for a book about design. I've always enjoyed Heller's writing but this edition is a real letdown.
