The Design Process: Bundle Book + Studio Access Card

By Karl Ómar Aspelund

In The Design Process, Fourth Edition author Karl Aspelund takes readers on a guided tour through the seven stages of design: from the initial Inspiration to Identification, Conceptualization, Exploration/Refinement, Definition/Modeling, Communication, and all the way through Production. This book focuses on developing a solid foundation in design critical thinking, no matter the discipline. The author highlights the all important factors of sustainability, teamwork, and how to best communicate with client or manufacturer. Each chapter is followed by an exercise that allows you to work on one full cross-disciplinary project continuously from brainstorm to a physical product. The appendices provide key references to further readings, artist profiles, design elements and principles, trend analysis, and history of modern design (from the 1800s through to the 21st century). This is the perfect book to make your design dreams into design reality.
