Book SynopsisThe book is a comprehensive guide for students and practitioners who want to take a collaborative approach in their design practice. Authors Marty Maxwell Lane and Rebecca Tegtmeyer introduce a range of case study collaborations, both face-to-face and remote, and between individuals and groups. The book addresses the basics of getting started, planning ahead and reflecting on outcomes, alongside the issues that come up in collaborative work, e.g. cross-cultural exchange, or managing roles within a diverse team. Editorial commentary runs throughout the chapter introductions and case studies, with informatics illustrating key concepts and expanded call out' points in the martin. More complex case studies offer a deep dive' section to explain and share further details of the featured projects.Trade ReviewLane and Tegtmeyer explore both the power and the struggle of collaboration in design. Through a series of case studies they pull the reader into a range of projects, providing a wealth of inspiration for designers operating in academia and industry. Ultimately, they address a crucial, contemporary question: how can we work together to take on the complex problems of our age. -- Helen Armstrong, Associate Professor of Graphic Design, North Carolina State University, USAThis book supports the call to reimagine, redirect and refocus graphic design education as a collaborative, improvisational and less outcome-based practice in the 21st Century. It doesn’t pretend to have all the answers but instead presents a trove of case studies from US schools, illustrating the insights and pitfalls of collaborative work in trans-disciplinary, socially-engaged and politically aware design curricula. -- Peter A.
