The Design Process (Paperback)

This is an interactive book covering the design process from searching for ideas to defining and maintaining sources of inspiration. The Design Process emphasizes the importance of the designer's mind as opposed to the designer's hands, while discussing the need for clearly understanding one's creativity in order to communicate ideas to others. Aspelund takes the student all the way from inspiration to production, dealing with the designer's role as a manager, coordinator, communicator, and problem solver.
