This is the first of my regular Good Friday installments. Each week I’ll chronicle the progress and the process of writing and designing the book. Since this is the first post, I’ll have to play a little catch up.
In the summer of 2007, I spent a week in rural Alabama, advising to Project M. Walking down a quiet country road with Brian Collins one evening, we got to chatting about how transformative our time in Alabama had been.
Celebrated designer, lecturer and former AIGA National Board Member, John Bielenberg, will write the foreword to The Good Design Book. John is the mastermind behind Project M and one of the founding partners of C2. John’s work touches on all six categories featured in the book, particularly the notion of problem seeking (a term coined by Brian Collins while on a trip to Project M in rural Alabama). We’re very excited to have John on board. It will be some time before actually has to write anything, so stay tuned for future updates.
