Karl Aspelund takes readers on a guided tour of seven stages of design, from Inspiration, Identification, Conceptualization, Exploration/Refinement, Definition/Modeling, Communication, and Production. "Perspectives" features highlight individual designers and artists, and end-of-chapter exercises help transform design projects into reality. With thoroughly updated illustrations, the Third Edition of this successful book includes more on sustainability, globalization, and collaborative teamwork. Additional Perspectives features provide further inspiration from real-life designers.
