The Art of Computer Designing is a book by Osamu Sato, first published in 1993 by Graphic-Sha. It serves as a tutorial to approaching vector graphics with Sato's design philosophy, providing many examples of his work to demonstrate the possibilities of using different shapes or techniques. Copies were bundled with a Mac format 'gift disk' that includes a Director animation, pictograms, and the OS Compu Bold font.
2020 edition
An updated version was published by Colpa Press in Spring 2020. This edition contains a new cover and introduction by Sato, an updated translation by Kensuke Hidaka, and some additional examples. An edition of 250 copies was announced (later reduced to 200). In 2024, a second edition of 300 copies was printed.
