by Steven Heller and Teresa Fernandes
I picked up this book on a whim during my last visit to the library. Technically, it is a vocational guide, written for those considering a career in design. But it has some interesting content for those already in the field. Most enjoyable are the many interviews with leading designers. It is a nice break from "how-to" design books . . . this one explores the ideology behind design, how rapidly-changing technology affects the way we create, and the individual process/approach to design work. There is a remarkable range covered, from book cover designers, to interactive and television/motion artists.
Another bonus -- it's easy to read in "bite-sized" pieces, as the interviews are typically only two or three pages long.
