Today I read pages 1-16 which were basically an introduction to the book. It also touched a bit on the author's life. He explained that he started in theater which gave him a wide perspective of design. From costume, to stage design and even lighting, Karl Aspelund was exposed to a very wide spectrum of design early on. The first few pages explained the fact that everything is a design in some sort. From a computer to a building and even a army tank, it took someone and often times a team of people to create these concepts.
In the introduction Aspelund explains that there are 7 stages in creating ideas and turning them into products/ finished work. He explaines that inspiration is a key step to start with. Inspiration is important because it is the thing that caused your original idea. Your work has to be inspired from something, in other words, there has to be something that drives your work. In order to come up with concepts you need to be interested in what you are creating. All in all, Aspelund lays out briefly how to begin creating finished products.
