Design Realities: Creativity, Nature and the Human Spirit by Stuart Walker

摘要

When I first browsed through the book, the post-punk tune This is Not a Love Song' popped all the way from the 80s back into my head. Minutes after, I caught myself happily muttering 'this is-not a-design book' to the same tune. First impressions already did the trick! Intended for artists and designers, Design Realities focuses on the creative process, pushing the comfort zone by taking a distinctly non-theoretical approach to the subject. Rather than launching into entangled, academic, limiting definitions or meanings of creativity, the author chooses to lead by example by indeed, daring to do things differently -and the work embodies what this implies, risks and all.
