Designer + Context
Publication, Book, Sequence
Analytical Writing, Type, Image
This project is centered around an icon of the design world, Dieter Rams and his design philosphy. Any good project starts with research and I found plenty on Dieter’s history with all of his various products. The one challenge I had was to incorporate other product designers to contrast their work with Dieter’s work, specifically, looking at their functionality and accessibility.
So once all the designers were documented, I designed the first book on Dieter’s work and the second book was on five other designers and a design that tied itself to a principle of that Dieter followed.
My greatest takeaway was the organizing information, I wanted to be brief in the shallow ends and expanded in the areas with more to chew on but letting each section having their time in the spotlight.
