  The aim of this series is to introduce children to design and technology using clear text and visual images. Each title covers a specific area of the subject. The text is illustrated throughout with full colour and is reinforced by simple projects which actively involve the reader in designing and making. This book is concerned with visual communication - the way we see things. It is about sharing ideas through drawing. This book illustrates the importance of graphic design in our lives. It helps us plan our journey when we use a map or find our favourite breakfast cereal on the supermarket shelf, and shows us how to learn to operate a new washing machine or video. Children are also shown the many graphical techniques: freehand drawing, designing with shapes, 3-D representation, drawing in perspective, designing with computers and using lines, shapes, colours and patterns to communicate. Finally, there are 3 projects to encourage the reader to put graphic design into practice.
