miCa is Proud to announCe the release <strong>of</strong> two important new books on<br />
graphic design written and designed by MICA faculty, students, and alumni.<br />
Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming and Participate: Designing<br />
with User-Generated Content both affirm MICA’s continued contribution to<br />
the discourse <strong>of</strong> contemporary design education.<br />
Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming was written and designed<br />
by students and faculty in MICA’s MFA in Graphic Design program.<br />
Published by MICA and Princeton Architectural Press, the book presents tools<br />
and techniques for generating ideas, ranging from quick, seat-<strong>of</strong>-the-pants<br />
approaches to more formal research methods. At the book’s core are techniques<br />
for releasing creative energy and stimulating fresh thinking to arrive at<br />
compelling and viable solutions.<br />
Participate: Designing with User-Generated Content is co-authored by two<br />
MICA alumni: Helen Armstrong ’09 and Zvezdana Stojmirovic ’05. Published<br />
by Princeton Architectural Press, Participate looks at ways designers are engaging<br />
users in the creation <strong>of</strong> their work, using systems thinking to establish openended<br />
structures through which other people might create. Part theoretical<br />
exploration and part how-to manual, Participate challenges designers to turn<br />
audiences into users. Stojmirovic is a member <strong>of</strong> MICA’s graphic design faculty;<br />
Armstrong is an associate pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> design at Miami University in Ohio.<br />
For the event, short presentations by participating authors and designers<br />
will follow a reception and book signing. Presenters include Lauren Adams<br />
’11, Helen Armstrong, Christina Beard ’11, Keetra Dean Dixon and JK<br />
Keller, Ann Liu ’11, Ellen Lupton, Chris McCampbell ’11, Ryan Shelley<br />
’11, Zvezdana Stojmirovic, Aggie Toppins, and Bruce Willen ’02 and<br />
Nolen Strals ’01 (Post Typography). The event is hosted by MICA’s Center<br />
for Design Thinking, which assisted in the creation <strong>of</strong> these publications.
