| book description |

From prolific design writers and educators at the SVA/NYC, Steven Heller and Molly Heintz, a compelling collection of essays and interviews for anyone interested in critiquing, explaining, or interpreting design Â Writing is designing, and writers are designers. Mastering the elements of different writing styles is as important in describing a designed work as an understanding of color, texture, and material form. The design writer must make the prose as necessary and exciting to read as a designed objectâ€“â€“from the simplest business card or product packaging to the grandest monumentâ€“â€“must be to see and to use. Â Â This book is for the student or the expert, the novice or the professional, who seeks to communicate. With real-world examples of how and what to write when critiquing, explaining, discovering, introducing, and interpreting a piece of design, it presents a tantalizing world of possibilities for any design writer. The collected essays include a range of styles and disciplines, from journalism, scholarship, criticism, and business. Contributors include: Sarah Boxer Akiko Busch Liz Danzico Jarrett Fuller Colette Gaiter Karrie Jacobs Mark Kingsley Julie Lasky Warren Lehrer Rob Walker Michele Y. Washington and many more! Explaining design means writing intelligibly and creatively. This book covers it all, for and through those who practice, chronicle, critique, and observe graphic, product, industrial, and architectural design. Â
