Not satisfied with the new T-shirts on sale at the local mall?

Maybe you'd like a wedding invitation that expresses your own vision, not your party planner's? How about some personalized stationery? An upgrade to your website? A business card? A poster for your political campaign? A CD package for your band? Sound good? Then get up off your couch and Design It Yourself! Avoid graphic identity theft: build your own. Ellen Lupton, bestselling author of Thinking with Type, will show you how.

DIY: Design It Yourself, provides you with all the tools you'll need to create your own projects, from conception through production. Here you will find:

  • simple ideas on how you can "think like a designer"
  • clear and coherent explanations of design technologies, from silk-screening to web development
  • what materials you'll need to get your job done
  • where to find and buy them
  • how much time and experience your project demands
  • diagrams that show how to handle complex tasks
  • basic typographic dos and don'ts
  • the history and theory of the DIY design movement
  • hundreds of innovative and beautiful projects for inspiration


  • No more excuses. With this book, virtually any design task is within your grasp. Just do it (yourself)!
