Using a series of hands-on projects that are structured for the novice—but with built-in challenges for the computer literate as well, this book shows how the computer may be used as a tool for creative problem solving in design—for ideation, project development, and finished visual solutions. Projects progress from simple to complex, both in underlying fundamental concepts and possible technological complexity, and explore structures in and of design through various options and themes of investigation. Most offer a non-computer solution as well as other varied possible methods and outcomes. Throughout, a “yin and yang” framework integrates digital technology and its creative applications with the more traditional realm of basic design, showing how process versus product, concepts versus craft, traditional design methods versus digital technology, are all contrasting pairs—dichotomies that rely on each other for balance and the creation of a whole, contemporary experience.

Design Dynamics is an innovative, project-based workbook, where the fundamentals of design arc reinterpreted through the use of current technology. This book offers an alternative approach to two-dimensional problem solving that spotlights the exciting growth of technology within the visual arts.
