DECODING DESIGN by Maggie Macnab

Decoding Design by Maggie Macnab

Recommended Read 'Decoding Design' by Maggie Macnab, published by How Design Books. A greta book for appreciating the power of sacred geometry in logo designs. Maggie covers the core simple basic shapes - circle, square, triangle, cross, spiral and principle of duality. There are case studies of familiar mainstream logos and some of her own designs. Underlying this is her passion and source of inspiration, nature.  

"Words are the language of the head, but visuals carry the intuitive language of the heart. The language of nature is universal and it is our first and primary language. Design by Nature is about recapturing the lost art of reading nature to create better visual communications—as well as give a better understanding (and appreciation) of nature."
DESIGN OBSERVER - Maggie Macnab founded Macnab Design in 1981 and received highest honors from the American Advertising Federation ADDY for logo design in 1983. She has continued to receive national and international recognition for creating design that focuses on meaning, beauty and usefulness. Her unique approach integrates symbolic information into design to create effective and accessible visual communications that translate into any language and any culture.

Recommended Read: MAND AND HIS SYMBOLS by Carl G Jung

Man and His Symbols by Carl G Yung

Another Recommended Read if you are keen on symbolism. In fact this is probably the first book I would suggest you get.

'Man and His Symbols' by Carl G Yung (1875 - 1971) - Yung covers a wide range of subjects from early times to modern. Naturally I like the numerous examples of symbolism in art. Importantly, it covers archetypes, accessing the common consciousness and synchronicity, which are fundamental to the vital essence and purpose of symbols.

Also read his collection - Archetypes and the Collective Unconsciousness
The great psychologist dreamed that his work was understood by a wide public, rather than just by psychiatrists, and therefore he agreed to write and edit this fascinating book. Here, Jung examines the full world of the unconscious, whose language he believed to be the symbols constantly revealed in dreams. Convinced that dreams offer practical advice, sent from the unconscious to the conscious self, Jung felt that self-understanding would lead to a full and productive life.

Gateway to the Heavens
A glorious work that fires the imagination and helps us appreciate the truth of our reality.
NEXUS magazine
Do you realise you actually shape your destiny and shapes influence your destiny. If you want to understand how this works ask Karen to give a talk about it or read her excellent book. You may have hated even the mention of geometry at school, but Karen's simple and illustrated explanations will give you a real insight into this fascinating topic. 
Jo Pelle, NSFH
The Hidden Geometry of Life
The harmony in our world and the cosmos is awe-inspiring, and is brilliantly portrayed here in images and words which reveal the connection between art, geometry, science, consciousness and spirituality.... An illuminating book indeed!
NEXUS magazine
The attentive audience was enthralled by Karen's introduction to the principals of this truly multi-dimensional topic ... The energy in the room, by the end of the evening, was well and truly charged!
