DESIGN AND ART TIPS
“How Design Makes The World”
By Scott Berkun
SUMMARY
We don’t always pay attention to this, but everything we use, from social media, to our homes, to our highways, was indeed designed by someone.
How did they decide on what was good for the rest of us? What did they get right and where have they let us down? And what can we learn from the way these experts think that can help us in how we make decisions in our own lives?
“This book is a quick read, and an easy read, but it’s never fluff. Scott Berkun is a really strong writer, with a clear voice and just the right amount of humor (too little can be too dry, too much can be self-indulgent and distracting). Reading the book brings a real pleasure in coming across many stories and examples that I know about (of course there are tons of stories, and examples that I hadn’t heard about before), it’s so well-researched and reported that these examples are fleshed out with details and new context. “
