Irene Guerrieri's practical guide to toy design covers both the tools of the trade and the craft of designing with a child's sense of curiosity and beauty. Published by Springer, it sets out working methods for choosing forms and colours that communicate clearly to young audiences.
Guerrieri's practical guide to designing toys — the tools of the trade, and the deeper craft of listening to children and choosing forms and colours that communicate beauty. It joins the SDF's Humans component to its semiotic-communicational facet: designing meaning for the youngest audience. Published by Springer, the book sets out the working methods and applicable tools of toy design, aimed at readers wanting to learn the trade from the ground up. Guerrieri presents it as a guide to unlocking creativity, encouraging designers to appreciate beauty with the curiosity of a child while learning to choose forms and colours that communicate that beauty effectively.
