5.0 out of 5 stars Creativity redefined
This book is exceptional! I learned so much from this author’s perspective. Thinking outside the box is exactly what you need. This book sparks creativity on a whole new level. I highly recommend reading this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Cleverly designed book, clear & helpful!
I’m studying design & this book is IMHO a must-read. About half of the book focuses on visuals to illustrate storytelling through design, & it’s tremendously helpful & direct. As a visual learner, I wish more books “took a page” from this one. I highly recommend this book for anyone that wants to nurture their creativity.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Helpful Little Book
I am teaching myself graphic design. There are a lot of books that focus on graphic design principles, but this book has a unique spin that I find very helpful - considering design as a form of storytelling. It helped me view concepts I had already seen multiple times in other books and online classes in a completely different way. The author's way of writing, the design of the book, and the visuals all make each idea crystal clear and easy to digest and retain. A fun read indeed!
4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pocket-guide for introducing global critical design thinking
Perfect pocket-guide for introducing global critical design thinking. All ideas are narrated with apropos illustrations. Exploratory and visual approach to the telling of the story captivates the lay of the land for designing with a purpose, essentials of successful product design and significance of human interaction and customer journey throughout the process.
5.0 out of 5 stars Visually insightful
This is a good book for creative individuals. It takes a lot of well know storytelling aspects and outlines in a visual and comprehensive way. Having adhd its great to look over every now again and regrouped myself with some of the basics and the best way to outline or project a story to particular audiences.
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book with great illustrations inside!
An eye-opening book for me. This book explores the power of storytelling in design and the importance of understanding "story structure" to be able to create meaningful connections with audiences (as a designer). BTW I also had the pleasure of interviewing Ellen on my podcast "On Branding Podcast", so if you want to get a preview of what's inside the book, then check out that episode. However, you certainly won't be disappointed! A great resource for any designer. Highly recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing information
I ordered a bunch of design books because it’s never too late to came back and have some backup on Theory, I love Ellen Lupton, she has a great and creative mind. I haven’t finished to read yet, but so far so good!
5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!! Very eye-opening read
I originally had to buy this book for a college art class, but nonetheless, Ellen Lupton opened my eyes to the eerily accurate concept that everything is a story. She illustrates amazingly how the guideline of a story can be applied to mundane concepts such as restaurants, and she brings life to everything you'll come across in your future ventures and everyday life. I recommend everybody read this to understand the systemic value that our society's infrastructures are built upon, and especially designers for them to expand their horizons.
Good
Informative book.
