When we look at the line up of The Do Company's Do Books, we cannot help ourselves, we want them all! This new addition of Alan Moore, about design is no exception.
So much passes us by, unnoticed. We multi-task, switch between screens, work faster. When was the last time you paused to consider a beautifully made object or stunning natural landscape? Yet this is when our spirits lift, our soul is restored.
Do Design will inspire you to:
Improve your creative process
Raise the quality and craft of your work
Consider the experience as much as the product
Adopt simplicity, utility and honesty as guiding principles
"We are creative beings. We love to make things. This book will inspire you to create better things for better reasons. Things that people will love – for a long time to come. Some say beauty is a luxury. But what if it is key to creating a better world for us all?"
Misc also offers Do Purpose, Do Lead, Do Protect, Do Story and Do Breathe of the Slow Living Range.
