Dibujar las ideas: dibujar a mano para diseñar mejor

by Mark Baskinger, William Bardel

El dibujo es un medio rápido y poderoso para explorar las ideas y comunicarnos con los demás. Sea cual sea el reto (diseñar productos, servicios o sistemas, o transmitir información), ejecutar un boceto a mano permite pensar con frescura y concede un mayor potencial de persuasión. Muchos no han llegado a explotar el arte del dibujo, o lo tienen descuidado. El libro 'Dibujar las ideas', que se basa en los populares talleres conocidos por ese mismo nombre, es un recurso completo que te permitirá desarrollar la capacidad de dibujar y ganar en agilidad al pensar, practicidad al comunicar y excelencia al diseñar.

* Dibuja con más seguridad
* Propón ideas con espontaneidad y eficacia
* Avanza en tus conceptos a lo largo de las etapas clave del diseño
* Desata la colaboración constructiva entre colegas y clientes

Interesting overview but not a good reference book. Aimed primarily at product designers, it has a fair assortment of short articles by different artists. The short article on sketch books, using and making your own was excellent.

The target audience for this book appears to be folks who enjoyed art classes in school but grew up to be middle managers in marketing departments. I personally found it a bit disappointing. The approach depends heavily on industrial design principles and methods, things that first established the “hate” part of my love-hate relationship with drawing way back in middle school. And worse, the text is written in buzzword-intensive, academic prose, reminding me of how my awkward relationship continued into college. Though the authors are clearly talented artists, their descriptions are often vague and demonstrations frequently hard to match with concepts. Counter-examples would also have been helpful. Also the binding in the hardback edition comes loose from the pages, so if that sort of thing bothers you then consider the digital version.

Increíble que olvidé que tenía este libro aquí. Al final me lo terminé, no recuerdo ni cuando. Ojalá poder decir que quiero donarlo pero se ha hecho un huequito en mi corazón. Siempre está bien tener un libro que te pone como objetivo la comunicación en vez de el arte.

Éste es un libro que nunca he tenido prisa por terminarme y no creo que la tenga jamás porque siempre hay que revisarlo de vez en cuando. Algún día, no lo necesitaré y se lo podré regalar a alguien que lo necesite como yo lo necesitaba. Pero no creo que sea pronto.

A lush volume, very attractively made. But alas, while it sets out for a variety of learning goals, this book enables the reader in none one of them. In their ardor to underline every useful aspect of sketching the authors outline their own habits but never make them concrete or helpful in any way. Written like there was no editor involved. Also, what's with all the washing machines?

Not a book I would read for fun, but it does what it sets out to do and does it well.

Good primer for design drawing. Practical exercises and a nice overview.

There is one chapter on web-design with examples and tips. I didn't find it useful.
I would rather recommend reading Sketching User Experiences: The Workbook (but it's also not perfect)

It's got many projects to help you develop your skills in drafting and conveying thoughts visually. Do not undertake unless you can commit to a fair amount of practice as it relies on developing muscle-memory.

Picked this up at a bookstore in Seattle. I've been curious about graphic design and thought this book might explain a lot of concepts and techniques without overwhelming me. So far, so good.

A stunningly beautiful book with great insight for novice to intermediate fans of drawing.

[Nathan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good overview on drawing to represent ideas. I'd recommend it as reference to anyone starting out.

Good book for the start..

I was actually looking for this kind of practical book, showing me some real cases of designs. Learned a lot from others real works.
