| During his more than sixty-year tenure at The Walt Disney Company, the late John Hench came to be know as "the guru of Disney design". His remarkable and unequaled wealth of experience spanned from the earliest Disney animated features to some of the most beloved theme park attractions.
In Designing Disney, John takes a look at the key elements of design -show, story, character and color- and explains the way in which each plays a role in the success of a design. Wheter the medium is architecture, animation, live-action films, theme parks, stage plays, costumes, restaurants or shops, design is the tool that Imagineers use to communicate the intent of their creations.
In this personal journey, John reveals the lessons he learned working side by side with Walt and with a legion of Disney designers. His stories and anecdotes are filled with insights and thoughtful observations.
Illustrated with more than 200 sketches, paintings and photographs from the vault of Walt Disney Imagineering, Designing Disney is an entertaining and informative behind-the-scenes look at the fascinating world of design. |
