The process of creating graphic design cannot be easily defined: each designer has their own way of seeing the world and approaching their work. Graphic Design Process features a series of in-depth case studies exploring a range of both universal and unique design methods. Chapters investigate typical creative strategies – Research, Inspiration, Drawing, Narrative, Abstraction, Development and Collaboration – examining the work of 23 graphic designers from around the world. Work featured includes projects by Philippe Apeloig, Michael Bierut, Ed Fella, James Goggin, Anette Lenz, Johnson Banks, Me Company, Graphic Thought Facility, Ahn Sang-Soo and Ralph Schraivogel. This book is aimed at students and educators, as well as practising designers interested in the working methodologies of their peers.

The most accessible and practical roadmap to visualizing engineering projects In the newly revised Third Edition of Engineering Design Graphics: Sketching, Modeling, and Visualization, renowned engineering graphics expert James Leake delivers an intuitive and accessible guide to bringing engineering concepts and projects to visual life. Including updated coverage of everything from freehand sketching to solid modeling in CAD, the author comprehensively discusses the tools and skills you'll need to sketch, draw, model, document, design, manufacture, or simulate a project.

The design industry has evolved rapidly over the past decade. Effective and successful designers no longer need to just “make things,” they need to be curious thinkers who understand how to solve problems that have a true impact on the world we live in and how to show the power of designing for social good. Now more than ever, the graphic design industry needs a book that teaches the foundations and theories of design while simultaneously speaking to the topics of history, ethics, and accessibility in order to make designs that are the most effective for all people.

In Powered by Design, educator, designer, and public speaker Renee Stevens brings a truly up to date and thoughtful approach to an introduction to graphic design. As Assistant Professor at the S.I. Newhouse School of Communication at Syracuse University, Stevens created this book to be at home equally in academia and outside of the school setting. With a conversational and approachable tone, Stevens’ book is for anyone who wants to gain a more practical understanding of what graphic design is today, and the power and potential it has: from students to novice graphic designers to anyone who wants to build a solid foundation of design skills so that they can work more effectively with professional designers. Stevens covers topics such as:

• Choosing the right typeface

• Hierarchy and visual weight

• Creating design systems

• Balancing tension

• Visualizing data

• Understanding color and mood

• Defining a story structure

• User testing and critique

• Immersive design (designing for all the senses)

• Determining when a design is finished

• How to make a living with design

Woven throughout is the crucial idea that you must embrace empathy in everything you design in order to create work that is the most inclusive. Design has the power and potential to make real impact in our everyday lives, and this book will show you how to do that starting with your first design experience.
