A counterhistory and new historiography of design. In Design by Accident, Alexandra Midal declares the autonomy of design, in and on its own terms. This meticulously researched work proposes not only a counterhistory but a new historiography of design, shedding light on overlooked historical landmarks and figures while reevaluating the legacies of design's established luminaries from the nineteenth century to the present. Midal rejects both linear narratives of progress and the long-held perception of design as a footnote to the histories of fine art and architecture. By weaving critical analysis of the canon of design history and theory together, with special attention to the writings of designers themselves, she draws out the nuances and radical potentials of the discipline—from William Morris's ambivalence toward industry, to Catharine Beecher's proto-feminist household appliances, to the Bauhaus's Expressionist origins, and the influence of Herbert Marcuse on Joe Colombo.

"This original Dover publication illustrates dozens of accidental effects discovered by a commercial artist in the course of his work. Some are the result of bringing together materials that react with each other, some the result of applying pigment in uncommon ways. The text describes how you can create similar accidental designs yourself with only basic art materials. Nine areas of "accident" are described and illustrated: tree forms created by the movement of pigments or liquids ; crackle patterns resulting from stress in layers of glue, paint, India ink, or graphite ; crawl patterns as coats of paint over irregular or incompatible surfaces unevenly ; random patterns of drips, drops, or dribbles ; splashes and runs created by vigorous impact and gravity ; marble effects created by pulling paper or canvas through paint which is floating on water ; wrinkle lines and folds in a variety of materials ; flower patterns formed when pigments are dropped on non-absorbent surfaces ; and a miscellany--27 plates that shoe patterns emerging from ink flowing along wrinkled paper, scorch marks from a kerosene flame, waves in water-filled baking pan, and similar material. Eight color plates suggest some of the variations possible with colored pigments or crayons, and 55 other figures show natural "accidents" such as dried stream bed, ceramic crackle, beach pebbles, dirty water runs on glass etc."--back cover.

In this reflective autobiography, Rosemary Sassoon, a leading expert on handwriting and typography, looks back on her long and varied career, paying special attention to her unorthodox progression through a variety of fields. She details the route that took her from design to the educational and medical aspects of handwriting problems, then on to research and a PhD and finally to working in the area of legibility in type design. In telling the story of an unusual and unusually successful life, Sassoon takes up a number of philosophical questions about what it is that comes together to form our characters, and what role chance and coincidence play in our lives.
