This book develops concepts from The Design Code ®, an idea-generating system developed by Northwest artist and educator, Fred Griffin. It is a remedy for the artist's equivalent of writer's block, because this system makes it possible to turn out fresh ideas and great designs on deadline. Putting It All Together is the third book in the series. It features a set of challenging exercises using an ocean theme that take the reader through the entire Design Code. In the Bonus section, the apple again is used as an explanatory device. Here the Three DO-TOs are introduced and the reader learns how to think about Sequences of Change. In addition to reviewing the concepts introduced in the first two volumes, of The Design Code ®, Putting It All Together adds tips and techniques that make it possible to create excellent designs on deadline. The Design Code ® is a three-book series that provides an in-depth course in art composition and idea-generation. It is for two types of readers: those with an understanding of design and experience in the field -- and those with interest and entry level skills who have never studied design. For experienced artists and designers, this book is a tool to lift oneself out of a creative dry spell. For those who are new to thinking to design, it also serves as a primer in the basics of composition. For either type of reader, these are books that you can return to again and again for inspiration and practical guidance.
