51 Books About Design To Celebrate World Book Day
Discover 51 must-read design books this World Book Day to inspire creativity and innovation.
So you are a designer and you also like to read? What a rare coincidence... Let's celebrate World Book Day together, then! Well, let's celebrate together by reading separately to ourselves...
51 books is a lot, but don't worry they come in themed subgroups... Click on the red links to open the blog posts and access the full book lists.
Philip B. Meggs, John Kane, Herb Lubalin, Adrian Shaughnessy, Kenya Hara, Otl Aicher, Markus Rathgeb, Saul Bass, Jennifer Bass... Do you know all of these names? And if you do, do you also know everything about their life and work? I doubt it...
Take a deep dive into the history of design from many different perspectives and stop messing around!
Did you know that a lack of technical skill should never be a barrier between you and creating something remarkable? But at the same time it might be a good idea to get a better technique, anyways...
Well, these 20 books will help you remember these seemingly paradoxical statements! On one hand you don't necessarily need great technique to design and draw something evocative and interesting but on the other you might be better off with some technique to smooth out the creative process!
If that made no sense to you, go to the source: read the books for yourself!
Explore the fascinating world of scientific illustration with these 5 must-read titles.

You get the idea!
