401 Design Meditations

In need of advice? Just want to sounds off? Opening this volume is like grabbing lunch with a fellow designer to commiserate or celebrate. In its pages, noteworthy designers, both past and present, working in such fields as graphic design, fashion, architectures, typography, illustration, and product design sound off on every topic, ranging from deadlines, inspiration, competitions, rules, respect, education, and handling criticism, to life as a creative soul-all with a certain amount of irreverence. Their thoughts are boiled down into succinct, 'quotable' quotes and one-liners that exemplify their character and demonstrate their philosophy on the world.Enjoy reading sound bites from everyone from Frank Gehry, Eric Gill, and Charles and Ray Eames to Frank Lloyd Wright, Paul Rand, Stefan Sagmeister, and Saul Bass.
