Design as Art

Incredibly insightful book! I'm not a reader but being in the design field this is one of the first books I've read and I found it really helpful. Although a bit tough read to understand things, but all worth the knowledge you get out from it.

I am halfway through this book and I realise that it’s already bringing changes in my perspective. It’s not everyday that something can bring change in us. It’s a book on design not really meant only for designers but for common folks like me. Trying to amend the ways we mis-interpret and avoid art as exclusive, elusive and if my dare-say effluent. I like the way this book is presented - fluid, lucid and tranquil. Doesn’t burden you anywhere with harsh terms or technical jargons. Every bit is enjoyable, to say the least. Go for it! Special thanks to amazon - it was through their recommendations that I reached this book!

Very good quality of the book and printing, no errors,etc. Designing isn't explained in technical terms but through various stories, thoughts and abstraction. Hence the name "Design as Art". Can be read several times and relate the concepts to various things. Will update after completing the full book.

Loved the book, as a graphic designer it does open you to new perspectives on how you can get inspired.

Bought this for my wife who is a designer. She says this is a seminal work on Art-Design intersection. She loved this book and I saw her taking copious notes for future blog/presentation purposes. This book can make digital or physical products designers relate to their craft better and help them see the deeper meaning and purpose in their design work. Today because of Steve Jobs every corporate fat cat is singing of virtues of good design but this book highlighted how one should look at design way back. This book has stood test of time and still considered as a Timeless Classic.

I've had the honor of visiting Signor Bruno Munari's museum in Milan and so I know how amazing he was as a designer. It's equally fun to read this book, which has great reflections of his thought process.

Got the book today. This has been in my read list for long. A must buy. Quality of the book was good. Delivery was smooth.

Shoddy packaging

I love Bruno Munari's books, this is absolutely one of my favourites. I like how practical he is - true soul of design.

İki yıldızı kitabın içeriğindeki sanatçı/tasarımcı için verdim. Bu yayın evinden bu kadar kalitesiz bir baskı ve ürün beklemiyordum. Benim hatam hiçbir şeyi kontrol etmeden aldım. Bayağı cep kitabı kadar boylarda, baskı kalitesi yetersiz, işportacıda satılan bir kitap geldi. Şaka gibi. Bir daha da düzgünce kontrol etmeden almam.

My prof recommended so I’m reading it. So far, really interesting

Amazing book in excellent condition.

Te ayuda a abrir la mente y ver el arte de manera distinta, además muy ameno, por algo es un clásico. El único "pero" que le pongo es que la tipografía es muy pequeña y las portadas son muy delgadas, parecen hechas de cartulina, pero por el contenido vale realmente la pena.
