The Art of LEGO Design: Creative Ways to Build Amazing Models

LEGOs are awesome, but did you know that most of the truly amazing LEGO creations you’ve seen on the Internet didn’t come from the LEGO company themselves, but are the works of enthusiastic amateurs? Fans, artists, and creative types from all walks of life are constantly creating new LEGO innovations, and it’s now easier than ever to share ideas, explore what others are doing, and share your own blocky brainchildren with the world.

The Art of LEGO Design not only collects some truly mindblowing projects lovingly crafted by the LEGO faithful, but delves into the techniques and building styles behind them. Schwartz interviews creators, reveals exceedingly clever ways to use established pieces to enhance your building experience, and even offers instructions to recreate these designs with ease. This is the rare design book that encourages self-discovery AND presents some damned impressive new tricks of the trade.

From LEGO stained glass art to elaborate mosaics, from spacing and texture to presentation, this is a fantastic resource for casual builders and dedicated creators alike. The Art of LEGO Design is gorgeous to flip through and full of inspiration.
