The Laws of Simplicity
The Laws of Simplicity
by John Maeda
MIT Press (2008)
The book The Laws of Simplicity is short and concise, just as the concept it is talking about. The essence of the content is embedded in the refined language. The meaning is profound not only for design, but also applicable to our view of this world.
Wim Crouwel Alphabets
Wim Crouwel Alphabets
by Kees Broos (2003)
Being deeply inspired and influenced by the Swiss Style, I always wanted to read a book about Wim Crouwel, one of the most outstanding designers during that time. This book by Kees Broos not only contains almost the whole collection of Crouwel’s work but also is introduced in an interview format which is perfect to complete my to-read list.
Design, writing, research:writing on graphic design
Design, writing, research:writing on graphic design
by Ellen Lupton, J. Abbott Miller
Published by Kiosk 1996
As a designer, we make cool stuff, share ideas with our peers and present to our clients. But only a few designers write about their work, experience and insights. Undoubtedly, design, writing and research are three main aspects of Ellen Lupton and Abbott Miller’s work and are almost equally important. They even founded a studio called Design/Writing/Research in 1985 as their after-hours scenario. This book Design Writing Research, first published in 1996, is a collection of their studies and thinkings, a reflection of the community and an experiment, according to themselves, of writing, design, and publishing.
