《Creative Code》简介:

The work of digital design guru John Maeda as an educator and director of the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab has never before been fully revealed. Seven years of intensive research with gifted students has resulted in incredible advances in digital and interaction design, and many of the programme's graduates are now considered leaders in their field. This book presents the most fascinating work, arranged by themes that apply to today's digital design issues: programmatic space, living information, typography, tools, interaction design and education. Each section also features two essays by leading names in the field of interaction and digital design, such as Casey Reas, David Small, Yogo Nakamura, Joshua Davis and Gillian Crampton-Smith. Red Burns contributes a foreword.

《Creative Code》摘录:

Did computers change the ITP? Not at all. That's a really important point: It has never been about the tools. IT has always been about people—— how people use technology, and how these technologies can help people communicate. I value people's imagination _ their sense of freedom to express _ because I think everyone has imagination. I don't think imagination is ever thought of as practical.
