About this title

Synopsis

Designing Creative Tools explores how both physical and digital tools shape the creative acts they enable. The book speaks to designers building the next generation of creative hardware, software, and interfaces, while also offering valuable insights to the wider design community seeking new ways to think about intention, control, and authorship. Creatives who use these tools-musicians, photographers, artists-will find inspiring stories behind iconic instruments from the Leica I to the TR-808, Blender, and early 3D printers. With a clear framework and principles specific to creation, the book helps readers understand how creative tools work, how they guide their users, and how they can be reimagined.
