How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul

After many recommendations, I recently picking up Adrian Shaughnessy's book, How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul. I have only read the first two sections of the book, but so far it has some very insightful advice for every young designer.


One point I picked up on was that joining industry is like learning graphic design all over again. Plus on average, it takes 6-18 months for a junior designer to start contributing to a studio consistently.


I found this re-assuring considering I will be looking for a job in the coming months!


So far the book is a great buy, especially for £8, so I highly recommend it!
