5.0 out of 5 stars New designers bible!, 9 Jul 2006
By Mr. C. Darling (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A "must read" for any new designers entering the business world with their ideas. This book tells you exactly "how it is" out there and how not to make the mistakes that many have made in the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always a good idea to keep learning I say., 19 Jun 2006
I read this book firstly because I was attracted to the title then the concept, which actually is very much needed within the creative community. This book doesn't say 'do this' or 'do that', and that's a good thing, you can get some really interesting insights and views in there and its up to the reader to utilise it for their own benefit.
I have been running a graphic studio now for almost 8 years and I found a lot of useful ideas in there. It's been passed around the studio now for the rest of the team to look at. I noticed the previous review and the guy or girl sounds like a bit frustrated, maybe another finger pointer who never actually got out there and tried to do it themselves - they also spelt 'pamplet' wrong which is interesting ?!? Anyway, this area should be discussed more within education and maybe as an industry we'll all be in a slightly better position.

5.0 out of 5 stars for the Entrepreneurs at heart, 21 Jun 2006
Great for designers looking to make money from their creations instead of selling out to the sharks! I enjoyed getting a deeper understanding and assurance that it is not easy to be an entrepreneur but with sheer gut, determination and will to succeed if this guy can do it, so can I!
