Book Description

April 1, 2001
Learn how to effectively manage successful, money-making Web- and print-design projects with this indispensable reference to business practices in today’s burgeoning digital marketplace. Covering planning, ownership, responsibilities, development, communications, and efficient techniques for beating deadlines, the book reveals what it takes to succeed each step of the way in running a design business and managing projects.




Previously published as Electronic Design and Publishing, this third edition of an industry classic has been thoroughly updated and expanded to include five new chapters about Web strategy, planning, design, and construction. The expert, practical advice is clearly illustrated with examples of what works and what doesn’t work in managing budgets, handling copyrights, dealing with decision-makers, and negotiating disputes. The comprehensive treatment of the digital design process from the perspectives of the Client-Group, the Creative-Group, and the Production-Group make this a must-read resource for anyone planning, purchasing, creating, or managing digital design projects

Complete waste of money. Forget the content - layout makes it impossible to read. And it's about design by the way. Don't do it...

This book is an amazing collection of important information for businesses working with all aspects of graphic design and designers working in all aspects of digital media. It guides the reader through a myriad of print, advertising and web site information. Each time I look up a topic I find not only what I am seeking, but a new vantage point to look at the topic. The massive amount of information is well researched and well organized and it is obvious that the author knows her craft. I will use this book as a continual resource. It has a treasured spot in my library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Business/ Design practices, November 3, 2008
This review is from: Digital Design Business Practices: For Graphic Designers and Their Clients (Paperback)
I found this volume to be a very concise series of creative battle strategies...... bridging the gap between Client Brain, and Creative Brain.... avoiding any potential problems therein, but also turning such problems around into inspired strategies...This volume is also many authors in one, a communications Rosetta Stone of many client/ and creative-side opinions/ project strategies...... all so well orchestrated by the author, her book gives you everything but the Talent and Software needed to get the job done.
I've bought several copies for my group.
Buy the book. Read the book.......take a deep breath.........and hit the ground running.
