Design Double Feature

MICA is proud to announce the release of two important new books on graphic design written and designed by MICA faculty, students and alumni. Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming and Participate: Designing with User-Generated Content both affirm MICA's continued contribution to the discourse of contemporary design education.The launch will include short presentations by participating authors and designers followed by a reception and book signing.

Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming was written and designed by students and faculty in MICA's M.F.A. in Graphic Design program. Published by MICA and Princeton Architectural Press, the book presents tools and techniques for generating ideas, ranging from quick, seat-of-the-pants approaches to more formal research methods.

Participate: Designing with User-Generated Content is co-authored by two MICA alumni: Helen Armstrong '09 and Zvezdana Stojmirovic '05, who is also a member of MICA's graphic design faculty. Published by Princeton Architectural Press, Participate looks at ways designers are engaging users in the creation of their work, using systems thinking to establish open-ended structures through which other people might create.

The event is hosted by MICA's Center for Design Thinking, which assisted in the creation of these publications.
