Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
This book is ideal for professionals involved in innovation and design, as well as anyone interested in understanding the creative mindset that drives product development. It also appeals to readers looking for an entertaining and thought-provoking exploration of design philosophy.
This anthology of design concepts reveals what you can learn from Mad Men’s Don Draper, why the Beatles were not just brilliant as musicians, how a lemon tart can make you world famous and why purple is just always so wrong.
75 inspiring, educational and sometimes hilarious insights in the adventurous minds of the designer. The insights give every professional tools to apply in their own innovation processes. Learn from the inimitable reasons the designers have to get to their creations or just enjoy the explanations about designs around us, even the ones that are often perceived as a failure (e.g. the Fiat MuItipla).
