It also discusses the relationship between design and the new media and the effect of globalisation on design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaking a broadly chronological approach, Professor Sparke employs historical methods to show how these themes developed through the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century, playing a role within modernism, postmodernism, and beyond. Over a hundred illustrations are used throughout to demonstrate the breadth of design. Examples – among them design in Modern China, the work of Apple Computers Ltd., and design thinking – elaborate key ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new edition of \u003cem\u003eAn Introduction to Design and Culture\u003c\/em\u003e remains essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of design studies, cultural studies, and visual arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47604988805356,"sku":"9781138495852","price":98.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138495852-an-introduction-to-design-and-culture.jpg?v=1778118982","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/an-introduction-to-design-and-culture-by-penny-sparke-9781138495852","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
