Book Tip: Design Without Panic

by Eyes & Ears of Europe

Design Without Panic – How to Create Beautiful Things Without Losing Your Mind A Book for Anyone Who Designs, Communicates, and Sometimes Feels Like They’re About to Lose It.

Design is not a spa treatment. Anyone working in the field knows that between endless feedback rounds, vague client requests, and the pressure to be simultaneously aesthetic, functional, and innovative, there’s often little room for clarity. This is exactly where Alexandra Yankovskaya’s new book Design Without Panic steps in.

With over twelve years of experience in print and web design, a passion for interactive media, and a sharp sense of humor, Yankovskaya brings not only design expertise but also a healthy dose of self-irony. Her book is a light-hearted yet insightful guide for designers and anyone involved in visual communication—whether you're just starting out or well-established in your career.

What makes the book special:

• It delivers design knowledge beyond buzzwords and tool talk.
• It tackles real-world challenges and shows how to handle them without burning out.
• And it demonstrates that design is more than decoration—it’s a precise response to complex problems.

Design Without Panic is not a dry textbook, but a smart, deeply human contribution to contemporary design culture. Perfect for those who take design seriously—without taking themselves too seriously. www.amazon.de/Design-without-panic-beautiful-English-ebook/dp/
