Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming (Renowned Designer Ellen Lupton Provides New Techniques for Creative Thinking About Design Process with Examples and Case Studies) (Design Briefs) Review: Great for Graphic Designers/ Designers in general - I have got half way through my book and I will say I'm very pleased with it. I think it has a lot of good information. It's not a hard read but you do need some background term knowledge in Graphic Design or Psychology I would say. Review: Just Excellent All Around - This is a great book - one that shows you how to arrive at quality ideas and design through thought and process. So many books just showcase great design, but this explains ideas and exercises for how to come up with the great ideas. Highly recommend.

Great for Graphic Designers/ Designers in general
I have got half way through my book and I will say I'm very pleased with it. I think it has a lot of good information. It's not a hard read but you do need some background term knowledge in Graphic Design or Psychology I would say.

Just Excellent All Around
This is a great book - one that shows you how to arrive at quality ideas and design through thought and process. So many books just showcase great design, but this explains ideas and exercises for how to come up with the great ideas. Highly recommend.

Very cool little book.
Nice intro to design methods. I also like that they use examples and case studies from community organizations instead of the typical S&P500 Companies that hardly anyone can relate to.

Tasty snacks, no meal
As an experienced designer/design educator, I was happy to find some ideas here that I'd never heard before (or perhaps had forgotten). The book is a quick, easy read, making it an excellent way to get an overview of how designers think and work. Students especially will benefit from learning that there are many, many ways to approach any design challenge. The downside, of course, is that you don't learn much about anything specific. No in-depth discussion; even the case studies left me wanting more. Fortunately the author lists resources with many of the topics that will help you learn more. Think about the book as a "Taste of Design" festival: sample a lot of things, decide the ones you really like, and at another time, in another place, dig in for a full meal.

EXCELLENT!
This is a wonderful book with a combination of strategies including how to get ideas, case studies, collaborating, and hiring. It's a good refresher for any experienced graphic designer and very helpful for any new designer.

Great book
I found it very helpful in more ways than one! It shows you multiple ways of thinking of new ideas both in groups and alone.

1 of 5 Top Design Books to Have
Hands down; one of the BEST books on how to approach design problems, exemplifies insights on how others think and overall is a great reference book to keep within arms reach.

This is a great introductory text for new and student designers who wish to improve their design process through tried and tested creative techniques. I was a little disappointed with the very brief descriptions of process, and the lack of detail in case studies, but it is still worth a read at this price.

It's the perfect graphic designing book for the perfect price. Was originally looking at this book in Indigo/Chapters & it doesn't get as good as this price.
