Recenzii

Neil Leonard has quietly and thoughtfully managed to write a book that is less strident than its title suggests by carefully assimilating a lot of practical wisdom that many design tutors would hope to impart to their students before embarking on a professional career in graphic design ... In summary,Becoming a Successful Graphic Designeris a solid and valuable edition to the any professional practice reading list.
This is an amazing book and one I am very pleased to have come across. I will be using this as a one of my key texts for the unit, and I will be encouraging all students to buy it. It covers all aspects of how to move into a successful design career; from looking at places of work, to the range and how to apply for varied and different types of opportunities, including the importance of attitude and networking!
