We all tend to have our noses to the grindstone on a daily basis. We work hard and we try to create our best work for each client. Sometimes the well just runs dry and we need to recharge our creative juices. You could spend hours searching the web for inspiration. It is out there, but trying to find the best can take time. Also, the artists usually don’t explain how they arrived at their solutions. That all changes with the Great Design book by Smithsonian. They’ve gathered the world’s best design and compiled it into one book. Each example is complete with an explanation of why it works so well. You’ll be inspired by the best in design, with reasoning behind why it is so great.
With full color examples and explanations for each design, you’ll recharge your creative batteries in no time. You’ll learn from the best projects throughout decades of designs. You’ll get inspiration from some of the best designers in history. From print design to product design, Great Design has a lot of great content for everyone.
