If you answered yes to that question, I highly recommend you read 'How to be a graphic designer without losing
your soul' by It is one of the most insightful books I had read about design and it has given
a fresh perspective of the industry I am a part of.
This book combines practical advice with philosophical guidance to help young professionals embark on their careers.
It talks about a multitude of things, from interview dos and don'ts and how to start your career, to setting up your own design studio. It also contains interviews from renowned designers like Stefan Sagmeister, and also has a foreword by Chip Kidd. The book focuses on various current issues related to design, and offers expert guidance on what to do after you finish design school.
Each page contains nuggets of wisdom and the author's style of writing is very personal. So it feels like you have a professional mentor when you read. The book is an excellent manual that talks about things that are not really taught
to you in design school. The new edition, which has the charcoal cover, has updated interviews, excerpts, and also a bonus section on digital design.
If you are a designer, you need to have this book on your bookshelf. Once you start reading it, you will not be able to
put it down. That, I promise.
