{ How to be a graphic designer, without losing your soul }



How to be a graphic designer, without losing your soul, a book by Adrian Shaughnessy with Foreword by my favourite designer, Stefan Sagimeister. I bought this book from Basheer and find it very inspiring for designers. In it, it teaches us on the attributes a designer should plus it also showcases interviews with famous designers around the world (eg. Neville Brody, Andy Cruz, Peter Stemmler, Rudy VanderLans, John Warwicker)

This little cyan-coloured book brought lots of inspirations to me, with it i learnt to please clients and to self-satisfy as a designer. Hence i hope you guys will enjoy reading it too....
