Description
Feeling uninspired? If you're a creative professional-or just someone who'd like to be more creative in your work and daily life-look no further than Designers Don't Have Influences. Creative director, writer, advocate, and design cheerleader Austin Howe's elegant, incisive, and amusing essays are sure to appeal to a wide spectrum of readers, chronicling the lives, philosophies, and work processes of thought leaders in such disparate fields as art, religion, and ice hockey, many of whom have never before been profiled in print. Howe explores the creative process and conceptualization, delving into what to do when creativity is lacking. Graphic designers, industrial designers, architects, artists, advertising people, businesspeople, students, and anyone seeking inspiration will appreciate this much-anticipated sequel to Designers Don't Read, returning to it again and again for brief sparks of on-demand inspiration and innovation.
Advance Praise
“The man knows what he is talking about. But what makes this work truly interesting is the weird perspective from which Austin views the industry.”
− Dan Wieden, founder, Wieden+Kennedy
“Austin’s new book is chock-full of his amazingly crazy range of influences. This tome is a necessary read for every designer interested in finding new realms of inspiration and meaning.”
− Debbie Millman, president, design, Sterling Brands
“Austin looks beyond the usual suspects in this must-read installment of the Designers Don’t series. He enlightens us about the beliefs and eccentricities of outstanding creative personalities—from freewheeling nuns to sympathetic assholes—and shows us that creative integrity has many faces.”
− Nikolaus Hafermaas, graphic design chair, Art Center College of Design
