This book describes a marketing and design approach called ‘total design, ‘which is about not only making but marketing and promoting a good or service both successfully and profitably. It offers an integrated, holistic approach to the whole process. It’s integrative because the design, marketing, and branding must give a clear and consistent story about the product. It’s holistic becuase ‘total design’ engages consumers on all levels.
