About the Author

Wucius WONG (王無邪) studied at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio, and later at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, in Baltimore, Maryland, where he obtained his B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees. He returned to Hong Kong in 1965, where he joined the City Museum and Art Gallery as assistant curator in contemporary art and design, a position he has held since then. Privately he is a painter involved with the fusion of Oriental and Western traditions, and he has exhibited widely in Hong Kong, Saigon, Manila, Taiwan, Sao Paulo, London, and New York, and other cities of the United States. In 1970/71 he was awarded a fellowship by the J.D.R. 3rd Fund, New York, which enabled him to visit the United States again to observe contemporary art and art education developments for about ten months. Mr. Wong is currently preparing two new books for publication, Principles of Three-Dimensional Design and Color Concepts in Two-Dimensional Design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart of the Matter
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2011

Wucuis Wong's Principle of Two-Dimensional Design goes straight to the matter of designing with basic elements (line, shape, direction, texture)and the various approaches an artist can take to develop meaningful and interesting designs. He does not rely constantly on associating design ideas with great works of art, as do most design books.

I had to get this book for a Graphic Design class. It explains the foundation of design very well. I really like it. It's straightforward and easy to understand! I highly recommend for anyone who is interested in art, design, web design, graphic design, etc.

While the content is interesting, I feel like this book is a half measure when it comes to quality. Besides the cover there are no colour illustrations, and the typography is terrible, it looks like it's be photocopied more than once.

Pretty good, but author seems to to be focused on 'completeness' as opposed to really instilling any knowledge. That being said, the information covered is very complete.

The book was probably good in 1972 but a little dated today. Simply expected more for preparing to teach a class in the spring.
