Launching the Imagination :

A Comprehensive Guide to Three-Dimensional Design
is dedicated to
Anne Stagg, MFA

Launching the Imagination treats design as both a verb and a nounas both a process and a product. Through an immersion in 2D, 3D, and 4D concepts and possibilities, students develop visual thinking strategies that will serve them throughout their studies and their careers. They discover that design is deliberatea process of exploring a wide range of solutions and choosing the most promising option for development. They are encouraged to analyze each resulting solution thoughtfully in order to produce the clearest and most inventive solution to each assignment. And they find inspiration in the work of others, analyzing the art of the past and the present for insights.

Connect helps students better understand and retain these basic concepts. Connect is a highly reliable, easy-to-use homework and learning management solution that embeds learning science and award-winning adaptive tools to improve student results.

Building on the strengths of the previous five editions, Launching the Imagination , sixth edition, is even more

• Concise . Content has been refined so that maximum content can be communicated as clearly and concisely as possible.

• Colorful . In addition to the full color used throughout the book, the writing is livelier than that in most textbooks. Analogies expand communication, and every visual example has been carefully selected for maximum impact.

• Comprehensive . Launching the Imagination is the only foundational text with full sections devoted to critical and creative thinking and to time-based design. The photo program is global, represents a myriad of stylistic approaches, and prominently features design and media arts as well as more traditional art forms.

• Contemporary . More than half of the visual examples represent artworks completed since 1970, and over 100 represent works completed since 2000.
