A Design Book with an Unusual Concept
Written by Tara: Freelance Designer on Friday, 4 of July , 2008 at 8:02 am
I was sent a link to a new design book by the author Maggie Macnab, which has an unusal idea behind it. Her theory is that memorable graphic designs come about because they contain symbols and shapes that occur in our everyday lives in nature. Take a look at the video for the book, it’s on my Amazon wish list.

It’s a very nice book, Tara. I’ve not had a chance to read it all yet, but some great logo examples throughout.

Wow, this is a fascinating combination of three things dear to my heart. Design, language and symbolism. I can’t wait!

Mmmmmm, I’m not quite sure about this one, some of the transitions between the natural shapes and the logos were kind of…unreal
