Not just for graphic designers, must read for all design students, May 19 2006
By Y. Shimizu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Be a Graphic Designer, Without Losing Your Soul (Paperback)
If you are in commercial art field, regardless whether you are in graphic design or not, you must read this book. It tell you everything you wish your design school teachers had told you about the business of being a commercial artist. As an art school instructor myself, I made this book into a recommended reading material for my graduating illustration majors. Just cross the words "design" in this book and write over "illustration" (or animation, advertising, or whichever commercial art occupation), and more than 95% of it works. It is because this book does not teach you the tricks and gimmicks, but teaches you the philosophy of the business of being a commercial artist.

What they don't teach you in school, Feb 25 2006
By Ben Wexlar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Be a Graphic Designer, Without Losing Your Soul (Paperback)
Anyone entering into the field of graphic design, either coming out of school or embarking on a career solo, should read this book. It doesn't mess with what the best typefaces are, or any software tricks. Instead, it lets you in on how designers think, and how to be successful in your endeavors. A foreward written by Sagmeister himself, along with interviews with other "rock star" designers, make this book simply amazing.
