Rated by buyers -
Design It Yourself author Ellen Lupton and Alissa Faden have created a fascinating compilation of projects for crafts-oriented individuals to use expressing their design ideas. The cards are printed as a series of 2, 4, and 6-panel colour cards, each approximately 5 by 6 inches. Cards come in a box.
Projects are intended to showcase an individual's designs and include books, gifts (like luggage tags and refrigerator magnets), housewares (coasters, wall graphics), invitations, personalized shirts, stickers, and totes. Information is tightly organized; contents are organized in terms of project tools, materials, and instructions.
The first, or introductory, card introduces the tools needed to complete most of the projects--glue, scissors, razor knives, double-sided tape, etc. Online resources for paper manufacturers, vendors of crafts supplies and tools, plus other information sources are also included.
The deck's goal is to inspire readers to "get up off the couch and design your world." The Design Deck represents a great execution of laudable idea. In the hands of the right parent or teacher, this remarkably low-priced product can inspire and launch the careers of many next-generation graphic designers and product designers.
