MTIV- Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media Designer

MTIV

Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media Designer:

MTIV expands on that. Here he shares his respect and excitement for new media, gives a blueprint for design challenges of all types, taps into the myriad visual and literary inspirations that fuel his imagination, and shows readers how to get past their own moments of "designer's block."

Curtis is a fine storyteller. He takes anecdotes of coffee breaks, book tour lectures, work, life, and art, and weaves them around design maxims. For every morsel of advice, there are three or four personal stories that illustrate how he arrived at it and puts it to use. He shows how books, movies, print ads--just about anything--can be used in the search for creative solutions.

The seven steps in "Process" compose the bulk of the book. These are the exact steps Curtis's design team applies to each project. Without giving too much away, they are Listen, Unite, Theme, Concept, Filter, Justify, and Eat the Audience. (Well, you'll just have to get the book to find out about that last one.)

In "Inspiration," we learn that Curtis draws from Hemingway, Mies van der Rohe, Sidney Lumet, David Mamet, Leonard Cohen, Mark Rothko, and Joseph Müller-Brockman, among others. And the book finishes with a bang in the third chapter, "Practice," a collection of helpful tips in typography, color theory, XML, grids, and much more, from experts like Joseph Lowery (author of the Dreamweaver Bible) and usability authority Steve Krug.

MTIV is not just an easy read, it's fun, warm, encouraging, and, yes, inspiring. A self-taught artist, Curtis has made MTIV the perfect Boy Scout manual for those who have stumbled on design as a new career or just languished through too many uninspired afternoons in front of the computer. --Angelynn GrantDescription:

MTIV (Making the Invisible Visible) is an indispensable guide for the new age of media design. This book is about HOW to achieve the results that bring in profits and make you a better designer. This beautifully written and designed book unveils the methods behind Hillman Curtis' phenomenal success as a new media designer. In well-crafted narrative and instructional form, Hillman outlines his systematic approach for working with clients to develop clear, cogent, and creative communication - three "musts" for successful design.

Through trial and error, Hillman and his company honed a seven-step process for creating concepts, and developing and designing new media. Often overlooked or unknown by designers, the methods in this book are distilled from years of experience and enhanced by Hillman's years as a leader in the design field. Divided into three parts - "Process," "Inspiration," and "Practice" - the book offers a practical methodology for successful artistic and professional work and also offers technical advice for translating this to the web (color, XML, streaming media, and other topics are discussed). Written with a subtle sense of humor and narration that really flows, this book is a joy to read, with great advice that helps designers with their own design work.

• Review:: 'Good The book was in really good condition, although I did not recieve my book on time. Thanks.
• Review:: 'Curtis shares his experience and gives pointers I have read the Process and Inspiration sections thus far and Curtis gives helpful advice in how to succeed in media design.
• Review:: 'A must-read for aspiring designers As a design student, I was recommended to read this book by numerous friends of mine who have graduated from the program. I am a second-year student without a lot of real-world design experience, and reading this book still hit very close to home. This book is divided into three sections: process, inspiration and practice. The first section, process, outlines the way that Curtis has learned to relate to clients. His writing style is well organized and his voice is easy to follow. He uses personal stories as a way to connect to the reader rather than using "design-speak". The second section, inspiration, is a visual showcase of some of the people who inspire the author, and some of their strongest works. Many of these are motion pieces, so translating them to print poses a slight challenge. Curtis selects multiple frames from each piece that are representative of the story being told, and lays them out in a way that still conveys the meaning of the piece, making sure to describe the action that occurs so that the reader is as informed as possible without actually being able to view the piece. The final section, practice, is more of a tool to the new designer than to those with more experience. It is a guide to the ins and outs of design from a basic html overview to the usage of a grid in print design. For this section, Curtis invites other professionals that he considers experts in their respective fields to write individual essays. He provides this as a response to the lack of basic design literature that he ran into when he started designing many years ago. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The third section in particular seems geared toward younger designers, but anyone in a creative field would be able to gain from the client interaction guidelines listed in the process section or the imagery and ideas in the inspiration section. I highly recommend it to anyone.
• Review:: 'Higher Level of Thinking! This book inspired me in more ways than I can describe. Hillman Curtis is a genius and I cannot wait for him to write another book! Thanks Hillman!
• Review:: 'It's not as good as I expected. I was quite disappointed after reading this book, the Process part at the very beginning was pretty good but when it comes to Inspiration and Practice, I felt that it was just a waste of money and time. I thought Hillman can do better that that?

• Review:: 'Nice book but not that helpfull I bought this book with the idea of creating logos but that was a mistake. But it's a great book when you are interested in processes. This book shows how companies design logos and their process of getting from start to end. So, much talk about the process, no talk about the techniques.
• Review:: 'Great book at a great value! I bought this book in the hardcover and still refer to it all the time. Awesome guide to how some of the top firms create logos and their process. I still recommend this book to everyone, especially at this price!
