The process of creating graphic design cannot be easily defined: each designer has their own way of seeing the world and approaching their work. This book features a series of in-depth case studies exploring a range of both universal and unique design methods. It includes projects by Philippe Apeloig, Michael Bierut, Ed Fella, and James Goggin.
