Good book
Interesting & easy to understand, Launching the Imagination is a very helpful textbook for any design class. I used this book for my undergraduate design 1 & 2 classes. This book is descriptive and has plenty of helpful images of great works of art. I would recommend this to any college student studying art or design.
