Affiliate Link – How to Design

Scott Robertson (blog, Twitter) is a fantastic artist who also knows how to teach. And what’s even better still is that he knows how to translate that teaching into books, and his upcoming How to Design* — subtitled Concept Design Process, Styling, Inspiration, and Methodology — looks to me like a must own book if you have ever wanted to design something like a toy car or (maybe) even a real car. At 176-pages I suspect there’s something in here for everyone and I am definitely pre-ordering this one today. The book may not ship until December, but all of us can start enjoying Scott’s work today by browsing his blog.

With the concept design process clearly and concisely explained by Scott Robertson, this book will be a fantastic addition to the library of anyone interested in design. The variety of subjects and examples Scott shares in this book, will make it indispensable to beginners and professionals alike. Early chapters focus on an introduction to the discipline and the later chapters will provide ample inspiration and insight.

Written as an introductory book to the concept design process as applied to a range of professions, this book will appeal to entertainment designers, industrial designers, graphic designers, architects, illustrators and even engineers.

Certain to become a required textbook for many university and high school design courses taught around the world, this book builds upon Scott’s 17+ years of teaching experience at the highest college level as well as what he has shared within his previous bestselling books, The Skillful Huntsman, Start Your Engines, Lift Off, DRIVE, BLAST and How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels Way.
