Graphic Design Thinking Beyond Brainstorming by Ellen Lupton

I got a book from the NewYork Art Book Fair. At the event i visited the Princeton Architectural Press and found a very interesting book. I think it is very handful book for designer. 


Creativity is more than an inborn talent. It is a hard-earned skill that, like all skills, improves with practice. Graphic Design Thinkingexplores a variety of techniques—from quick, seat-of-the-pants approaches to more formal research methods—for stimulating fresh thinking and solving design problems. Brainstorming techniques are grouped around the three main phases of the design process: defining problems, getting ideas, and creating form. Visual demonstrations and case studies show the design processes and solutions at work. Featuring best-selling author Ellen Lupton's hands-on, accessible approach to instructional writing, this most recent addition to the Design Briefs series will help designers create projects that satisfy clients, users, and themselves.

Modern, Clean, and Sleek, with Energy




Financial District

Eight frames above are storyboard that represent a Financial District. The theme is modern clean and sleek with energy. In the working process, this is my first time that I am working on Flash 5.5. It is a more complicated than I thought. However, after this assignment I learn more about glowing effect, motion and classic tween, and also how to manage timeline in Flash.
