Book description
FOREWORD BY ELLEN LUPTON
Critiqued takes you on a journey with designer Christina Beard
through an iterative design experiment. With her poster in tow, she
meets with leading designers, writers, and curators. At each stop,
the participant critiques the poster and talks about his or her own
design process. Based on their conversation, Christina redesigns
the poster before heading to the next critique — a process
similar to the children’s game telephone.
This book is not about learning new software or being told how to
do something — it’s about exploring and discovering an
approach to design that works for you.
The experiment is presented as part memoir and part interview and
gives readers insight into each designer’s process and
personality. Each chapter features a design prompt for readers to
explore 23 distinct approaches in design and to compare multiple
perspectives.
