To imagine something different, better, or more interesting is to push the existing world into a state of change. Some of the greatest revolutionary acts of our time came to be because someone had the courage to imagine something new.
In The Imaginary World of?, Keri Smith asks readers to imagine something new: a unique world of their own making.
Readers start by creating a list of everything to which they're drawn: things they love and collect, colors, shapes, ideas, people, and creatures that fascinate them. The items in the list will become the building blocks for their imaginary worlds, used to create texture and establish a foundation for the new place they'll begin to inhabit. Readers will then be prompted to think about landscape, place names, maps, currency, residents, logos, foods, histories, and more for their world.
An indispensable guide for artists, dreamers, activists, and kids of all ages, The Imaginary World of? will encourage readers to become revolutionaries of everyday life, chronicling the possibilities in the brave new worlds they envision.
Industry Reviews
"[Smith's] unspoken message may be discovered along the way, if kids or adults notice their utopia didn't include a Target parking lot or seven hours of media use per day. A conceptual artist and author luring kids into questioning the world and appreciating every smell, texture and mystery in it." --TIME Magazine
"Thought-provoking. . . . The Imaginary World Of... breaks up the creative log jam by asking readers to focus on only one task at a time, page by page." --Suvudu
"Take on the challenge of imagining something new with The Imaginary World Of... by Keri Smith. Push the boundaries of the existing world we live in and encourage yourself to innovate." --How Design
Praise for Keri Smith
