Book Description

September 1, 2002
Inside the Business of Graphic Design: 60 Leaders Share Their Secrets of Success by Catharine Fishel Share the insights of today's most legendary graphic designers as they speak about the best-kept secrets (and failures) of their business lives. Inside the Business of Graphic Design casts a precise and realistic light on the risks, requirements, and rewards of running a creative and successful design business. Six sections discuss the entire cycle of business ownership, including goal setting, finding the right management style, cooperating with employees, triggering growth, rethinking one's business in the face of major changes, and even whether to stay with the business or move on. Whether you dream of setting up a small studio, or whether you've been on your own for years, this provocative guide is an important source of success strategies for every graphics professional.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better for Firms than for freelancers, but OK for freelancers, August 2, 2007

This review is from: Inside the Business of Graphic Design: 60 Leaders Share Their Secrets of Success (Paperback)
Some chapters I can apply to me. Most, I can't, although it is interesting reading material. (At least it's about graphic design!) Made for successful firms with partners and/or employees, which want to be even more successful, not for little tiny one-person companies like mine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Business Circles, September 18, 2007
By 
This review is from: Inside the Business of Graphic Design: 60 Leaders Share Their Secrets of Success (Paperback)
This book is great because it is a collection of stories from other graphic design business owners. The book allows you to get an idea of how others run their business on specific topics. It was a required text for a college course. After reading a section and getting an understanding of different methods we were required to choose which method we liked most. This helped us build a business model based on successful methods.
