Empirical Design (1915)

Empirical Design is a book written by Leslie David Hayes and published in 1915. The book explores the principles of design and their application in practical settings. The author argues that design should be based on empirical evidence, rather than on abstract theories or personal preferences. He emphasizes the importance of careful observation and experimentation in the design process, and provides numerous examples of successful designs that were developed through this approach. The book covers a wide range of design topics, including typography, layout, color, and composition. It also includes practical advice on how to apply these principles in various design contexts, such as advertising, book design, and packaging. Overall, Empirical Design is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the principles of design and their practical application.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
