Synopsis
An engaging and visually inventive introduction to the principles of good design for curious minds of all ages.
Why do some products feel intuitive, useful, and enjoyable to use while others do not? From folding bicycles and umbrellas to water bottles and toilet brushes, good design surrounds us every day—yet it can be surprisingly difficult to define.
Written by a design-industry veteran with more than forty years of experience, this accessible primer breaks down the essential characteristics of effective design, helping readers understand what makes certain objects stand out and endure.
Through clear explanations, colorful cut-paper illustrations, and real-world examples, complex design concepts become easy to understand for tweens, teens, students, creatives, and anyone interested in how the designed world works.
The book explores seven key characteristics of good design:
- Works well
- Looks good
- Opens our minds to new ideas
- Improves lives
- Brings joy
- Is innovative
- Stands the test of time
Features include:
- Seven focused chapters covering the foundations of good design
- Five illustrated product examples in each chapter
- Creative cut-paper artwork throughout
- Simple, accessible explanations of design principles
- Examples drawn from everyday objects and products
Perfect for young creatives, STEAM learners, aspiring designers, and curious readers, this visually engaging guide encourages a deeper appreciation for the objects we use every day and the thoughtful decisions behind their creation.
By learning to recognize good design, readers gain a new perspective on innovation, problem-solving, creativity, and the ways design shapes our daily lives.
