literature on industrial design

[PQRS7]

please recommend books on this topic

all kinds, especially

ones with information on the field itself

explaining prominent ideas and artists

and ones considered 'must-sees'

[Advantage]

Just get those Industrial Design A-Z books.

Key points in I.D. History and such. Things you have to know.

You can't miss any one of those when you go to any bookshop.

Good luck

if you're into his style,

karim rashid makes really interesting and sort of fun to look at books.

Designing Design by Kenya Hara

He's the head honcho at Muji now, and discusses a lot about his theories on design, especially minimalism and making things simple and direct. Lot of great product shots.

im taking english, math, and art history next semester, so whats another good class to take if i were to major in industrial design? actually, im a freshman this year, and im undeclared, but i plan on majoring in industrial design. i just need another class. and i took math, philosophy, and art the semester before this, if that matters any.

you will learn more by digging through info and researching yourself. anyhow, what youre looking for is a compilation of different shit... an overview. ID is deeper than coffee table books.
