Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Designer Craig Ward (who I’ve pre­vi­ously posted about here and here) has writ­ten a new book enti­tled, Popular Lies About Graphic Design. Craig describes the book’s sub­ject mat­ter as such:

Drawing on my ten years expe­ri­ence, it tack­les lighter sub­jects such as design fetishists, Helvetica’s neu­tral­ity and ‘urgent’ briefs, along­side dis­cus­sions on more wor­thy top­ics such as the valid­ity of design edu­ca­tion, the sup­posed death of print, client rela­tion­ships and pitch plan­ning. In addi­tion, I approached a vari­ety of estab­lished prac­ti­tion­ers such as Milton Glaser, Stefan Sagmeister, Christoph Niemann, Paul Sahre, James Victoré, Michael C. Place and many oth­ers for con­tri­bu­tions on their own insights and expe­ri­ences and to whom I owe a debt of thanks for val­i­dat­ing the project in my mind.

If you’re inter­ested, you can see a few more details of the design on Behance, and pre-order a copy for your­self on Amazon.
