I have some design interests but I am not a design graduate. I thought that reading this book may give me some hints about furthering my career in psychology and establishing a career in design. I thought that stories about innovation and creativity would cross professional boundaries.
I thought the book had some good ideas and stories but it did not invigorate me like some books do. I felt that the writing was a bit wishy-washy, writing to fill pages rather than deliver messages with urgency.

Product description
From the Back Cover
Too often a design or architecture degree is seen as a means to an end (a job in an established practice). But imagine for one moment that there are no employers, no firms to send your CV to, no interviews to be had - what would you do? This book celebrates the various strategies that students and graduates are taking to gain exposure, and more.

This book is rubbish, the author has basically put a load of interviews into a book. There is no narrative, no flow and no credibility of the people included. Total waste of time and money for someone who’s a creative graduate-the target audience!

honestly I kind of regret buying this just because I don‘t know how it‘ll help me. The book is beautiful don‘t get me wrong but I just didn‘t find it helpful enough. I like the yellow cover though!

Great book, full of inspiring stories about creative approaches to getting your work out there. It is very design and architecture focussed however, so perhaps not as relevant to graduates from other creative disciplines. Still worth a read though.
