Developing Citizen Designers book cover design

Developing Citizen Designers is a book written and edited by Elizabeth Resnick, and published by Bloomsbury Academic in 2016.

The cover was designed by Elizabeth Resnick.

The aim of this book is to enable students, educators and designers in the early stages of their careers to learn and practise design in a socially responsible manner. It responds to the rise of academic debate and teaching in the areas of social design, sustainable design, ethical design and design futures.

Developing Citizen Designers is a practically and pedagogically focused book, with each chapter addressing a particular area or issue within design practice and education, with an overview framing essay, interviews with practitioners and educators, and assignment briefs through which the reader can understand the process by which a brief is set, met and critiqued.
