What Is Good Design?: A Simple Question without a Simple Answer
Autor Lisa S. Robertsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 iul 2022
What do a folding bicycle, umbrella, toilet brush, and water bottle all have in common? They are examples of good design—something we often recognize but can't express in words. This book by a 40-year design-industry veteran targets creatives of all ages, including tweens, teens, and STEAM students and their parents, by making a complex subject accessible.
- Each of the seven chapters defines and explains a characteristic of good design, accompanied by five examples of product designs rendered in cut-paper art.
- The colorful artwork and clear, simple language make complex and sometimes abstract ideas easy to understand.
- Readers will see a wide range of everyday objects that meet the criteria for good design: works well, looks good, opens our minds to new ideas, improves lives, brings joy, is innovative, and stands the test of time.

Comentariile autorului
- Identifies seven qualities of good design in the objects we live with, showing multiple examples of each quality.
- —There are many books introducing and explaining the world of art, but there are practically none that introduce them to design. This book is intended to fill that gap.
—Most design books are descriptive, historical, or an abstract on a single designer. Very few actually define design and the elements of good design. I offer a unique take on this subject, presenting it in a lighthearted but substantive way and illustrating it with cut-paper art, rather than photography. - The book uses simple and clear language about complex and sometimes abstract ideas. Rather than just descriptive, it is an analysis of what makes something good design. It's easy to read, not technical or using industry jargon. The artwork makes an unfamiliar subject less intimidating.
