B3155. Sketchbook: Conceptual Drawings... / O'Donnell
Sketchbook: Conceptual Drawings from the World’s Most Influential Graphic Designers by Timothy O’Donnell. 2009. 192pp. 9"x11". Hardcover $40.00. SALE
This book explores influential designers' sketchbooks as a truer reflection of a designer's thought processes, preoccupations, and problem-solving strategies than can be had by simply viewing finished projects. Highly personal and idiosyncratic, sketchbooks offer an arena for unstructured exploration, a space free from all budgetary and client constraints. Visually arresting objects in their own right, this book aims to elevate sketches from mere ephemera to important documents where the reader can glean valuable insight into the creative process and apply it to their own practices. 300 photos/illustrations
