of “celebrity” designers. These books often lead us
astray by focusing on visuals and theory, instead of how and why
designers arrive at outcomes.

will help designers clarify their understanding of the nature of
design; learn methods for—consistently—creating good
design; and find ways to persuade clients to trust in their
counsel. It’s not a lofty book....
