Collaboration in Design Education provides a comprehensive guide for design educators and practitioners who want to take a collaborative approach in their design practice and studio. Authors Marty Maxwell Lane and Rebecca Tegtmeyer introduce a wide range of case studies of collaborative graphic design practice and pedagogical methodologies, both face-to-face and remote, and between individuals and groups.

The authors address the basics of getting started, planning ahead and reflecting on outcomes, as well as the issues that come up in collaborative work, for example cross-cultural exchange, or managing roles within a diverse team. Editorial commentary runs throughout the chapter introductions and case studies, with informatics illustrating key concepts and expanded ‘call out’ points in the margin. More complex case studies offer a ‘deep dive’ section to explain and share further details of the featured projects.

Collaboration in Design Education is a valuable source of inspiration and guidance for anyone seeking to create collaborative cultures in their work.
