In 2002, I attended the RGD Ontario's Designthinkers conference in Toronto and had the opportunity to attend a session by Hillman Curtis, a NYC based designer.
It was a truly inspiring session for anyone involved in new media and design in general and afterwards I picked up his book MTIV (Making the Invisible Visible) 2002. It immediately became one of my favourite books and is still to this day. It's informative, imaginative and may even change the way you look at design.
For anyone interested in design, it is an indispensable guide for the new age of media design and a must have. Since MTIV Hillman's most recent release is 2005's Hillman Curtis on Creating Short Films for the Web.
About the book
This book is about HOW to achieve the results that bring in profits and make you a better designer. This beautifully written and designed book unveils the methods behind Hillman Curtis' phenomenal success as a new media designer. In well-crafted narrative and instructional form, Hillman outlines his systematic approach for working with clients to develop clear, cogent, and creative communication – three "musts" for successful design.
Written with a subtle sense of humor and narration that really flows, this book is a joy to read, with great advice that helps designers with their own design work.
