Based on the author’s experience designing a bunch of different kinds of visual communication, How You See the Problem Is the Problem is not intended to “give readers a fish,” so they can design for the day—nor is it to teach them “the one-and-only-best-way-in-the-history-of-ever-to-fish” as if there is only one right way.  Instead, it shows readers a different way of looking at design and life, which would hope-fully make both feel a little more manageable and improve their life.

How You See the Problem Is the Problem: How to Create the Visual Communication (and the Life) You Never Knew You Wanted helps students relate content to students’ lives beyond the classroom. The author provides DEEP learning that STICKS with readers and have a profound impact for years to come. The publication teaches about life and design—it’s all about being able to see, define, and solve problems. Or at least find a workaround.

Chapter 2 How you do One Thing Is How you do Everything (true story)

Chapter 3 Life and Design Don’t Get Easier; You Get Better (or, not)

Chapter 4 Communication is a Gift

Chapter 5 When the Student Is Ready the Teacher Appears (like . . .I’m right here!)

Chapter 6 Don’t Be Afraid to Be Wrong (you probably already are)

Chapter 8 Awareness is Your #1 Design Tool

Chapter 9 Someone Has Already Had Your Problem (and Solved it)

Chapter 11 Never Underestimate Technology’s Ability to Let You Screw Yourself Over
