Scott Stowell is an MFAD faculty member and proprietor of the design studio in New York City called Open. "Over the last fifteen years we’ve made (and learned) a lot of stuff," he says in a Kickstarter campaign to fund his first monograph *Design for People. *It is a "unique book full of the real people behind our work telling the true stories behind our work. It’s a documentary, a guidebook, and an obsession."
It’s designed by Open. And contributors can get a copy hot off the presses. There are 12 days left to open up for Open. Go here to contribute.
