The Designer as...: Author, Producer, Activist, Entrepeneur, Curator, and Collaborator: New Models for Communicating
by: Steven McCarthy (0)
The role of designers in communication and visual culture is evolving, from designers serving as commercial "hired guns" to assuming the more empowering roles of design authorship. It has become standard practice in design education to teach designers to develop their own voice and create self-initiated projects.
In this book, Steven McCarthy, a professor of graphic design at the University of Minnesota and an expert on the subject, provides an overview of the phenomenon of design authorship and interviews many international designers who have taken on different roles as authors or producers of their own projects.
The Reviews
Really like how it is laid out. Reads well
For a book on design, I found this pretty poorly designed. The pages were a hectic unreadable mess. No white space whatsoever. Open this if you want to get a headache.
