About this title

Synopsis

New Ways to Unlock Your Visual Imagination

Great design doesn't come easy. If only you had the key to free your mind and overcome creative obstacles... Great news, with this guide, now you do! Unlock your imagination and get a firm grasp on creative visual thinking.

With dozens of idea-generating techniques from top designers, insight on how they apply creative visual thinking to real-world projects, and 44 visual thinking exercises, you'll increase your creative potential and the number of successful designs in your portfolio.

44 visual thinking exercises will help you discover new and exciting design solutions!

Play around with type. Try making the word do what it says--turn the F in Faint on its back. Why? Sometimes the solution is right in the letter forms themselves.
Redo a common image. Redesign something that we see all the time, like a traffic sign. Now you're forced to think about it in a new way.
Construct a substitution. Take a visual or an object and substitute something else for one of its parts, making your audience look twice. Think of the element of surprise--replace the petals of a flower with X-Acto #11 blades.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
