What we make, makes us. This is the central tenet of Artful Design,
a photorealistic comic book that examines the nature, purpose, and
meaning of design. A call to action and a meditation on art,
authenticity, and social connection in a world disrupted by
technological change, this book articulates a fundamental principle
for design: that we should design not just from practical needs but
from the values that underlie those needs. Artful Design takes
readers on a journey through the aesthetic dimensions of
technology. Using music as a universal phenomenon that has evolved
alongside technology, this book breaks down concrete case studies
in computer-mediated toys, tools, games, and instruments, including
the best-selling app Ocarina. Every chapter elaborates a set of
general design principles and strategies that illuminate the
essential relationship between aesthetics and engineering, art and
design. Ge Wang implores us to both embrace and confront
technology, not purely as a means to an end, but in its potential
to enrich life. Technology is never a neutral agent, but through
what we do with it-through what we design with it-it provides a
mirror to our human endeavors and values. Artful Design delivers an
aesthetic manifesto of technology, accessible yet uncompromising.
