About This Book
What makes a product successful?
How it looks? The way it functions? Its ease of use? Or do factors like price and marketing dominate?
In a quest to find answers to these questions, Deconstructing Product Design engages readers in a process of critically analyzing a diverse collection of 100 innovative products, from well-known classics to contemporary objects of desire. This book aims to support critical thinking about design, facilitate discovery of patterns of success (and failure) across products, and enable designers to apply lessons learned to their own design work. Experts from multiples design disciplines contribute commentary, including:
āRobert Blaich, industrial design
āJill Butler, graphic design
āAlan Cooper, technology design
āBrock Danner, architecture
āKimberly Elam, graphic design
āDonald Emmite, design history
