Great!.......2007-02-12

Lots of good information in this book. Designs are for mass-appeal, yet the projects are a bit out of the ordinary.

This book is for packaging design/graphic artist.......2006-01-31

If your'e an artist, this book will help you design your packages, it got a lot of design samples,printed in a nice paper, fully colored with alot of explanation and some sketches and samples of packages before they produced the final packaging output.

very disappointing .......2006-01-18

50 trade secrets did not help me with my design. It is good if you like to look at pretty pictures.

One of my favorites.......2002-08-05

As a graphic designer, I found this book very helpful. It shows how products were created from concept to finish. It has become one of my staples in my library. Very inspirational as well.

good book.......2001-11-28

I bought this book because it was a textbook for package
design class. Easy to read, nice photographs but little
bit expensive.

Book Description

This book gives a unique insight into the mind of a thinking designer. It asks questions such as what role can humour play in the communication process, how do you respond to the inevitable request for another corporate brochure, is there life left in stationery when everybody is using email, how do you create a coherent identity, is it really necessary to pick a boring house colour so it can be consistently boring for twenty years? And it puts to bed the prejudice that design is nothing more than gratuitous decoration without any real impact on a client's business.

Book Description

This volume is an illustrated anthology of 300 pieces surveying the work of Christopher Dresser, known as "the father of modern design." Like William Morris he believed that beautiful design should be available to everyone, unlike Morris, he thought that mass production was the best way to achieve that, and this dichotomy neatly represents his place as a bridge between the Arts & Crafts movement and industrial design. This book looks at all aspects of Dresser's career including wallpaper design, a wide variety of metalwork (most notably tableware and teapots), textile design, pottery, and glassware. His fascination with Japanese art and design gave his metalwork in particular a clean, minimalist look that seems to anticipate much of modern design from Bauhaus to Michael Graves. Well known and respected in his lifetime, his reputation suffered in the years after his death, and it is only in the last few decades that interest in his work has been revived. As a result, his pieces can be found in the collections of art museums nationwide and continue to sell well at auction. A long overdue look at one of design's most influential figures, this book will be a welcome addition to any design lover's library.

Book Description

This book presents over 100 papers from the 3rd Engineering & Product Design Education International Conference dedicated to the subject of exploring novel approaches in product design education. The theme of the book is "Crossing Design Boundaries" which reflects the editors' wish to incorporate many of the disciplines associated with, and integral to, modern product design and development pursuits. The book covers, for example, the conjunction of anthropology and design, the psychology of design products, the application of soft computing in wearable products, and the utilisation of new media and design and how these can be best exploited within the current product design arena. The book includes discussions concerning product design education and the cross-over into other well established design disciplines such as interaction design, jewellery design, furniture design, and exhibition design which have been somewhat under represented in recent years. The book comprises a number of sections containing papers which cover highly topical and relevant issues including Design Curriculum Development, Interdisciplinarity, Design Collaboration and Team Working, Philosophies of Design Education, Design Knowledge, New Materials and New Technologies in Design, Design Communication, Industrial Collaborations and Working with Industry, Teaching and Learning Tools, and Design Theory.
