A book you can scribble on, take notes or draw its pages

A book designed to be a real support for creativity, inviting the active role of the reader. So that whoever reads it is free to scratch it, take notes or draw on the pages.

One of Trampolín’s missions is to spread the value of design as a transformation tool, generating teaching and training material. The objective is to make people aware of the opportunities design offers as a driving force for progress and innovation, as well as to place design and creativity on the media agenda.

Design is a constant part to our lives. It is present in all the experiences we live since we wake up until we go to sleep. We may not realize it, but look around you: everything you see has been designed by someone to make our lives better.

That is why ‘Yo quiero diseñar’ (I want to design) is necessary, an educational and informative tool to bring the world of design closer to the whole society, that explains graphically and directly what design is, how designers work and the opportunities design offers as an instrument for social change.

Design is a constant part to our lives

A way both to understand the profession and to recognize how design takes part in every moment of our daily routines to make our life easier.

This book is fully accessible to everyone. The writing has been developed under the standards of easy reading so that the content is understandable to people with comprehension difficulties, thanks to the advice of Plena Inclusión CV.
