When Tim Brown was the the V&A last month, he mentioned the book “I miss by pencil” by Martin Bone and Kara Johnson of IDEO, which caught my attention. Although, I have just ordered the book and not yet had a chance to read it, this is how the book is described on the I miss my pencil website.
“The book attempts to communicate what designers sometimes think and talk about during the design process through the execution of 12 design explorations. Well at least that’s the official reason. Unofficially, we wanted an excuse to play around with our own notions of what design had become to us; ultimately, we wanted to pretend we were students again. The book allowed us to escape the realities and constraints of our day-to-day and find new avenues of creativity. It was also a way for us to engage in some inspiring conversations with people we’d always wanted to talk to.”
Also, there is a good interview with Kara Johnson on the Innovation podcast of Business Week
If you are interested in the book, you may find it here.
