    Great!

    I hope you enjoy it and you get plenty out of it.

    I use that pun concerning my cards as well! :)

    It took me a bit longer than planned to read the book through, but I’m glad I got there in the end.

    It featured a lot of helpful stuff in there for all designers, regardless of what stage in your career you are at. But I think it would be particularly helpful to those just out of college/uni and looking for work or anyone in the early days of freelancing.

    There was some really good advice on how to set up a portfolio for both job interviews and as a studio folio for clients. The whole book was scattered with tips and reassuring quotes.

    My two favourites were:

    “The correct relationship between a designer and his or her portfolio is one of constant doubt and questioning.”

    “The need for a brief is hard-wired into the designer’s psyche. In fact, although designers constantly demand freedom, they really crave restraint.”

    Overall, for me, the book was both inspiring and reassuring. I can see it being one that I will revisit regularly. If you don’t own it yet, I’d suggest you go beg, borrow, or steal (not really).

    Thanks again Ken!

    Iain.

Who's Ken?

Picture of Ken I'm a freelance graphic designer living and working in Suffolk. I've been using Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign & Quark Xpress since 1999 but I've been using pens, pencils, paper and most importantly my imagination for a lot longer. I'm always looking for new clients to work with and interesting projects to work on.
