2017
Team: Josh LeFevre
Duration: 8 weeks
Tools: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop
My role: Researcher, designer, author, editor, publisher
OBJECTIVE
Develop an instructional outlet, such as a manual, to teach design theories to new or non-designers.
SOLUTION
A 220–page workbook titled Design-a-Day: Design Thinking for the Everyday. This book reviews the history of design and highlighting major design concepts and theories in short blurbs followed by prompts to test the theory and build one's design skills. I developed working prompts that are designed to walk a user step-by-step through a design process. In this manner, a user practices real world design skills and develops his or her own process.
