Graphic Design Process: From Problem to Solution 20 Case Studies

The process of creating graphic design cannot be easily defined: each designer has their own way of seeing the world and approaching their work. Graphic Design Process features a series of in-depth case studies exploring a range of both universal and unique design methods. Chapters investigate typical creative strategies—Research, Inspiration, Drawing, Narrative, Abstraction, Development, and Collaboration—examining the work of 20 graphic designers from around the world. This book is aimed at students and educators, as well as practicing designers interested in the working methodologies of their peers.
