Provides designers with compelling exercises to improve their creativity—a perennially favorite topic
Graphic designers are always looking for ways to improve their creative thought-process, and this book provides them with simple—but intriguing—exercises for accomplishing that goal. The book features 30 simple words and challenges readers to visually interpret each one. There’s a gallery of sample projects for inspiration, and designers can access even more exercises at the popular online graphic-design community Speak Up. This frequently updated site runs this same creative challenge every month—offering readers a place to share their work and receive feedback.
Word it is your opportunity to express in any manner you wish and with as many (or little) other graphic elements as you need, what best describes each monthly word.
