Loughborough Design Press

Loughborough Design Press (LDP) is a specialist publisher of significant theoretical contributions to design education research and design theory. It has been established by Eddie Norman and Ken Baynes Design education has been long-established both in the UK and internationally, but is not in our view sufficiently represented within the mainstream of art, design or technology education publishing. This is the situation that we hope LDP will help to address.

Design education, alongside Science and the Humanities, is important because it underpins our relationship with both the natural and made worlds – whether real or virtual – and hence all our futures.
