Product Description
Design School 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.

Good Visuals but not the content I was looking for, Oct 22 2009

This review is from: Design School Confidential: Extraordinary Class Projects From the International Design Schools, Colleges, and Institutes (Hardcover)
This book has wonderful visuals and gives great ideas to launch from for classroom projects. It gives the instructors ideas for what developed the project and goals for the project. The student examples are strong and should be helpful to communicate ideas to my students. The book is good to see what other instructors are doing around the country and the world. However, it is not in the same league as Elisabeth Resnick's book "Design for Communication." Her book gives much more detail that a first year instructor needs or anyone new to teaching a course in the field of Graphic Design. I am happy to have "Design School Confidential" and will use it for generating new course material. Would I buy it again, probably not.
