Design School: Extraordinary Class Projects From International Design Schools - Softcover

Design School Confidential is a richly illustrated, unprecedented anthology of over 50 of the most challenging class projects from design schools around the world. The projects range from basic typography to social responsibility. From printed matter to environmental extravaganzas, students are challenged to push the limits of form and content. How do students learn to solve design problems? How do cultural differences impact the way design is taught? What do design students want from their class assignments? What do design teachers hope to impart? The answers can be found in this impressive compendium of choice projects from the likes of the University of Art and Design, Helsinki, Finland; Fabrica, Bologna Academy of Fine Arts, Italy; Arts Academy of Split, Croatia; School of Visual Arts, New York, United States; Berlin University of the Arts, Germany, and many more. Design School Confidential is an essential resource for teachers seeking uniquely successful projects.

Steven Heller and Lita Talarico are the co-chairs of the MFA Design program at the school of Visual Arts. They co-authored Design Career (the first handbook for designers and illustrators) in the 1980s and Design Entrepreneur for Rockport.
