Beyond Design

Beyond Design Making Socially Relevant Projects Successful

The time has come in which graphic designers are playing an important role in rendering ever more complicated information transparent and understandable for a wider audience. To stress this urgency, Renate Boere dove head first in the world of project management lingo, confidentiality statements, copyright, complicated rights contracts, the search for stakeholders, and grant applications. This journey resulted in the “designer’s novel” Beyond Design, a lively first person account of one designer’s experience juggling the multi-faceted world of social design.

The story tells how Boere decides to take matters into her own hands by working on socially relevant design projects and how she learned the diverse skill sets needed to take it all on herself. An exciting and informative book that gives insights into the designer’s do’s and don’ts while working on projects from start to finish.
