Description
Graphic designers constantly complain that there is no career manual to guide them through the profession. Adrian Shaughnessy draws on a wealth of experience to provide just such a handbook. Aimed at the independent-minded, it addresses the concerns of young designers who want to earn a living by doing expressive and meaningful work and avoid becoming a hired drone working on soulless projects.
It offers straight-talking advice on how to establish your design career and suggestions—you won't have been taught at college—for running a successful business.
This revised edition contains all-new chapters covering professional skills, design thinking, and global trends, including social responsibility, ethics, and the rise of digital culture. Also included are interviews with leading designers: Jonathan Barnbrook, Sara De Bondt, Stephen Doyle, Ben Drury, Paul Sahre, Dmitri Siegel, Sophie Thomas, and Magnus Voll Mathiassen.
