bought as a gift for someone but never ever given. just been sitting in my collection for years. listed like new because dust jacket cover / sleeve has light surface wear to outer cover from years of storage but nothing serious so don't worry and rest assured that inside it's in in immaculate condition as shown. listed cheaper than the others so grab a bargain before it's gone. plus sent fully tracked and insured service. plus money back guarantee for extra peace of mind. plus I've taken the time and effort to upload dozens of pictures for your reassurance. How's that for fairness? thanks mac

About this product

Product Information

This book explores so-called 'witty thinking' - arguably the most entertaining area of graphic design. Witty thinking is playfulness with ideas, words playing against images, and unexpected connections prompting new insights. It is clever thinking, not funny drawing. A Smile in the Mind analyses the intricate thought processes behind the apparently forward images. It shows how to make the case for witty solutions and, through a series of in-depth interviews with the world's top designers, suggests how to get inspiration. Gathering together the best examples of graphic wit over the past three decades, this book includes work from over 300 designers in the USA, Britain, Europe and Japan. Written with insight and a subtle lightness of touch, it offers designers a friendly read, a helpful sourcebook and a dynamic trigger for ideas.
