Help yourself to a Blue Banana: Awakening your eyes to art, design and visual living

by Michael Adams

In this brightly written work, designer Michael Adams describes the basic building blocks that anchor all visual expression.  Each chapter reveals one of the nine secrets (called lessons of light) that bring emotional meaning to visual experience. At the same time, a new and intriguing way of life, named "visual living," is illuminated, with dozens of surprising examples of how the visible world changes forever when we enthusiastically embrace it. This is art and design made easy, even for people who rarely read books!

Quirky cute. My complaint stems with the packaging as when I won the book in a giveaway the front part of the cover was ripped from its seems. Still a good book.
