Illustrated Book of Design

Have you ever thought about how the things we have around us came about? Who decides how they should work, what they should be made of, and what they should look like? Who designed them?

Everything is designed: very small things, like a paper clip, and very big ones, like an aeroplane; both ordinary, like a bucket, and elegant, like perfume; and things to wear like sneakers and to eat like candy. Our book was also designed!
