Great advice for Graduate Designers, a must read before leaving Uni April 28, 2008
This book contains a great wealth of knowledge that I wish I'd read a year ago when I was still a student. I studied computer science rather than design and am a software developer but I still found this book highly compelling and informative.

The things they don't teach you at uni. April 27, 2008
An excellant book for a graduate about to begin a career in design. Full of great advice and experiences that you will learn from. If you are serious about making it in design read this book!

READ THIS BOOK! NOW! February 6, 2008
Not only is it a perfectly designed book and joy to hold and read (design by Bibliotheque), Adrian Shaughnessy really explains things well. For me, I found that it boosted my confidence to get on with my work. The interviews he has with other designers adds plenty of other view points.

I think the best way you can describe this book is by thinking of it as having a conversation with an intelligent person. Just after reading a point, I would have a question in my mind that I would want to ask Adrian Shaughnessy if I were sitting next to him and by the time I read the next sentence it was answered, it was like he knew what I was going to ask.

Great book!

Refreshing September 28, 2007
One of the most refreshing books I have read for years. Clear, humourous and encouraging.

Essential September 2, 2007
A completely unique book written for a world where a foot in the door almost takes off your toes. A guide which contains information that most people have to learn the hard way.

A brilliant designer, who gave me some great advice over a beer or two!
