Anonymous asked: what is your all time favorite design book?
The Art of Looking Sideways by Alan Fletcher.
You know how most good movies aren’t about how to fall in love, but are about the experience of what it’s like to be in love? That’s what this book is to me. It’s not about how to design, it’s not a documentation of specimens of design, it is a giant book that is about what it’s like to live a visual life where everything is special and interesting. It’s a treasure chest of insight, wit and delight. And it made me realize that even though this work may mutilate us in its own special way, maybe that mutilation is desirable, if we can just steer it correctly.
Thanks, Mr. Fletcher.
