Call for papers:  We are seeking papers for a peer-reviewed book on color and design to 
be published by Berg. Working title: Color and Design.

Edited by Marilyn DeLong and Barbara Martinson
	
Cognition, context and culture are all vital to the way we experience color. From the 
products we use, the clothes that we wear, and the spaces we inhabit, color provides both 
visual appeal and information. Our proposed book, Color and Design, addresses how we 
experience color through specific examples of how color is used in the design disciplines. 
While other books devoted to color contain basic information regarding color theory and 
color use, this book intends to foster a greater understanding of color through the in-
depth analysis of specific cases. These examples will explore color as a cultural 
phenomenon, a pragmatic device for communication, and as a valuable marketing tool. 
Based in the disciplines of clothing design, graphic design, interior design, and product 
design, this book will be a valuable resource for both design practitioners and scholars.

Paper Length: We are looking for both longer papers (6,000-8,000 words) and shorter 
“snapshot” length papers (2000 words).
