Book Review : 100 Habits of Successful Graphic Designers

By Jennifer | Dec 7 2006 |

Unfortunately (for some of us, others thrive), being a designer means having to do so much more than just designing. We need to deal with clients, create an efficient workflow and stay up to date with technology. This book looks at how successful designers manage to deal with all of the above and more.

The business of design is divided up here into categories which include Education, Self-promotion, Partnerships and Dealing With Clients. Within each of these categories. designers explain their approach and sample of their work illustrate the process.

The aim of this book is to give advice about how to integrate the business world with the creative process (and not go mad). I found this book to be extremely helpful and also inspirational in terms of “pulling up my socks” and getting out there.

100 Habits of Successful Graphic Designers: Insider Secrets from Top Designers on Working Smart and Staying Creative
I would rate this book 4 out of 5.
