Design Book Genre – What’s the best definition for the design genre? Books in the design nonfiction genre are about the act of creating something different and new that fits an aesthetic need or purpose. The books in this genre range from web design to clothing or interior design.

With web design, the books often tell the reader step-by-step how to build and create web pages or sites.

With clothing design, the books can be about anything from the history of clothing to their evolution and style today, or be about the life of a famous designer.

With interior design, the books can be about anything from the structural design of the interior of a space or the aesthetic colors and styles used to decorate that space.
