Ideas are not born alone. They come from a process to a large extent organized and rational but sometimes unconscious and magical. In this book we can enjoy and learn from the creative processes of great graphic designers and creative voices around the world. Here we can find impulsive design versus more cerebral design; radical and avant-garde design alongside poetic, childish, commercial, intellectual, subversive and socially oriented design. 26 designers from 15 countries show us their workspaces, their personal notebooks and their creative processes. They teach us the keys to understand what is behind those magnificent works that inspire, thrill, impact or invite us to action. In this book the creative process itself is inspiration, a unique guide to creativity with storytelling and lessons on how to live your best creative life. The book features the work and creative processes of Ralph Bauer (Netherlands/Peru), Susana Blasco (Spain), Tomasz Boguslawski (Poland), Sarah Boris (London), Chelsea Cardinal (USA), Ryan Carl (USA), Andre Da Loba (Portugal), Isidro Ferrer (Spain), Veronica Fuerte (Spain), Rick Griffith (USA), Sebastian Kubica (Poland), Anette Lenz (France), Jiani Lu (Canada), Alejandro Magallanes (Mexico), Veronica Majluf (Peru), Fanette Mellier (France), Claudia Mestre (Portugal), Milimbo (Spain), Akinori Oishi (Japan), Alvaro Pecci (Spain), Stefan Sagmeister (USA), Teresa Sdralevich (Belgium), Akiko Sekimoto (Japan), Leonardo Sonnoli (Italy), Cihan Tamti (Germany), Jessica Walsh (USA).

Isidro Ferrer is a multi-award-winning graphic designer and illustrator whose work includes illustration books, theater posters, large-scale murals, animated shorts, sculptures, textiles, brand images and lamps. With a background in theater, he uses a variety of media, techniques and communication channels to transform his clients’ ideas into powerful yet subtle images. In About Nothing, readers will find examples of his extensive work, both the most recognizable and also the most unknown, as the author explores the personality and creative processes of this multifaceted artist, sharing Ferrer’s thinking, ideas and understanding of why design matters and what it means to be a designer and an illustrator. The book portrays the artist's vision of his work as a creator, visions of his studio, excerpts from his notebooks, autobiographical texts and a whole treasure trove of illustrations and designs that are largely unpublished or made especially for this book. As a result of this wealth of text and images, we are introduced to the personal philosophy, techniques, experiences, aesthetics, poetics and influences that inform the work of Isidro Ferrer, with numerous examples of how the art of creative thinking is developed, cultivated, honed and, ultimately, transformed into beautiful objects.

Este libro es un viaje que emprendemos a la búsqueda del secreto de la creatividad y que se divide en dos etapas. En la primera, más teórica, sobrevolamos una serie de investigaciones ajenas en torno al concepto de creatividad. En la segunda nos zambullimos en magníficos trabajos de diseño e ilustración mientras nos acompaña el lejano eco de las reflexiones de sus autores. Para ello los creadores nos han abierto sus cuadernos, sus mentes y en alguna medida sus almas. Como no puede ser de otra manera, dejamos que cada uno de ellos lleve el timón libremente y durante el tiempo necesario. Las personas creativas, como veremos, poseen una fuerte personalidad y gran determinación, pero necesitan libertad y un trato afectuoso. Por eso unos prefieren surcar mares profundos, viajes peligrosos alejados de tierra a merced de los vientos, y otros se decantan por viajes breves y placenteros junto a la costa. El lector, seguro, disfrutará con la variedad del viaje.
