Launched a new project, in which famous designers talk about their favorite books. 52 designers have compiled a list of 710 art and technical books that have influenced their outlook and increased the level of their professional. Did you know that they love Dostoevsky and Nabokov?. The idea and the project belongs. Steve Crowther. (Steve Kroeter), founder and CEO. «Archetype Associates». (New York, USA), which specializes in marketing and branding with innovation, design and creativity.
According to him, between books and designers to closer and deeper relationship than meets the eye. Designers are only read books, but also draw inspiration from them, write them, decorate and design. Books make people's lives better, as well as good design. These thoughts evolved into a project. «Designers. The project is supported by different design organizations and trade unions.
Under the designers must understand the people in those professions that are involved in visual design and user part of the world: graphic designers, architects, industrial designers, fashion designers, interior designers and others. At this point in the project was attended by 52 designers mainly from the U.S. and several people from the UK and Japan. All invited designers - are professionals with extensive experience, having great influence in the design industry and have significant authority in his field.
Each designer was asked to submit a list of books that have had influence over them for life. Restrictions on the genre of literature as such there is no. These should be books that have participated in shaping the world and life principles, as well as books that have helped them achieve professional-level design. Now a list of books includes 710 positions.
You can filter the list of designers in the direction of design, country and name. A list of books sorted by genre literature, title, author. Both categories can be represented in the form of images or text list. Books that have caused concern, you can add to your wish list and later printed or sent to your email.
The most popular books among designers.
Unfortunately, the site does not provide opportunities to identify the most popular books on the list of designers. Especially for readers HotDesignFor. I manually selected the Us such books.
It should be noted, to my surprise, I found among the 710 books and writers of the classics of Russian literature. Among the famous designers of the most popular. Fyodor Dostoevsky. the works. ... ,. ... ,. ... and. Vladimir Nabokov. with. ... ,. ... and. ... Less popular Lion toasts, Anton Chekhov, Mikhail Bulgakov, Ivan Goncharov, Ivan Turgenev. In total, I counted 13 books of Russian classics. Chief judge of the Russian literature can be called an Italian graphic designer. Massimo Vignelli. , Who emigrated to the U.S.. In. his list. 5 books of Russian writers!.
Top 3 books of designers at the moment:.
1st place.
... Robert Venturi. (Architecture ).
2nd place.
3rd place. ( shared ).
Perhaps the architectural theme dominates the list of popularity because of the architects of the participants a little more than half. The project was launched only two weeks ago and the number of participants will increase gradually and, accordingly, a list of popular books eventually will undergo changes. In any case, this rating is informal and the project itself, he has not provided.
I think for the fans of professional literature, the project design. «Designers. can serve as a source for finding new and interesting books.
