Launching the Imagination 2D

Launching the Imagination 2D, 6th Edition, introduces foundational principles of two-dimensional design. The textbook approaches design as both an intentional process of exploring solutions and a finished product, guiding students to cultivate visual thinking methods for academic study and creative careers.

Coverage includes dedicated sections on critical and creative thinking alongside time-based design. Visual examples span traditional art forms, design, and media arts drawn from varied global and stylistic approaches.

More than half of the featured artworks date from 1970 onward, including over one hundred created since 2000. Practical study features include short interviews that illustrate how foundational course concepts translate into professional practice.
