Focusing on 12 design projects by Stowell's design firm, Open, the volume offers a sort of oral history as told by those involved with each project--designers, clients, interns, collaborators and those who interact with the finished product on a daily basis.In addition to the case studies, the book features texts from influential figures in the design world, including writer Karrie Jacobs, founding editor-in-chief of Dwell magazine; plus contributions from Pierre Bernard, revolutionary French graphic artist and designer; Charles Harrison, pioneering industrial designer; Maira Kalman, artist and writer; Wynton Marsalis, composer and musician; Emily Pilloton, design activist and author of Design Revolution; and Alissa Walker, design writer and urban advocate.. Scott Stowell's Design for People is groundbreaking in its approach to design literature. Most design books focus on outcome rather than on process
Essential and enjoyable for both designers and civilians A Customer I had been anticipating Design for People for some time; when I finally got my hands on it, I devoured it in less than a week.Design for People has something for everyone; seasoned graphic designers will find indispensable stories about running a studio and putting work into the real world, while non-designers will find a friendly ambassador making a case for design's role in the world. After reading Design for People, I had an insatiable appetite to go make work that matters.“How” and “. Up with People! Full disclosure: I know Scott Stowell personally. But I was also a huge fan of his work long before I knew him. (And I don't throw around such compliments lightly.) Now he's created a monograph so good that I'm super inspired—and insanely jealous. Design for People is almost an anti-graphic design book—and in the best way possible. Where most tomes of this ilk barrage one with beautiful images free of any context or explanation, this book focuses instead on the process and the results of 12 va. "I tend to not finish reading books, but I finished this one very quickly!" according to Mohammed R Sharaf. For me, this book is different than the typical design book I am used to. It felt more like short stories about design projects that involve bunch of people. It is very well design, easy to carry and read on the go. I am sure it resinate with every one who worked with people in the design field. Also, beside it being short stories about design, it includes a lot of glossaries and information about design and few other things. It has a nice sense of humor into it too.
