About the Book
Design at Stanford reveals the fascinating story of how, in 1958, Stanford University’s departments of art and mechanical engineering collaborated on a joint graduate degree in design. Since 2005, Stanford’s “d. school” (the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design) has become legendary for propagating “design thinking” as a methodology, enabled in large part by alumnus and professor David Kelley.
Apple Computer’s early product designs, the founding of global design company IDEO, the design of the Google and Twitter logos, numerous typefaces for Adobe, the patented Koosh ball toy – Stanford-educated designers have influenced the world around us.
Design at Stanford is full color through-out its 256 pages, and entirely researched, written, illustrated and energetically designed by a Stanford design alumnus!
