How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul
I recently dusted off this absolute gem by Adrian Shaunghessy. First published in 2005, this book is an essential for anyone pursuing a career in graphic design. How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul contains a rich source of practical advice and philosophical guidance, covering topics such as time management, writing skills, approaching design studios, setting up a studio and self-promotion, to name a few. This book also contains interviews with world renowned designers including Jonathan Barnbrook, Stephen Doyle, Paul Sahre and Sophie Thomas. Do yourself a favour and get yourself a copy. Your brain will love you.
