Review: Must read - This is book is a classic. It was very good when it came out years ago and it is simply a must today with this expanded edition. Its place is firmly in the syllabus of any course on visual culture, communication and graphic design. Several lines from the chapter about the required qualities of graphic designers are now posters on my wall. Read this book if you are practicing, studying, loving graphic design. Not only you will keep your soul intact, you will indeed expand it. Every single page seems to have been written - and designed, I might add, as even the book's page layout reads as powerful statement - with the purpose of igniting conversations well beyond graphic design. Review: I though I was losing my soul...until I read this book - Heard of book through a friend and love it completely! Gives advice on design details, business, dealing with clients, and improving yourself as an individual designer. Easy to read through and interesting through and through. Mentions other designers and books, as well as real-life examples, to bring things into perspective! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #213,419 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #20 in Branding & Logo Design #74 in Art Encyclopedias #81 in Typography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 480 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Be a Graphic Designer withou: New expanded version - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PCSOuo3rL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read *by G***I on September 21, 2012* This is book is a classic.

Gives advice on design details, business, dealing with clients, and improving yourself as an individual designer. Easy to read through and interesting through and through. Mentions other designers and books, as well as real-life examples, to bring things into perspective! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved this book and I think it gives young designers ... *by A***N on June 15, 2016* I loved this book and I think it gives young designers a really good lay of the land as far as career direction and the job market. I found a lot of her advice a little bit advanced for me. I am a junior designer and much of the book seems geared toward designers who are mid-level. For example there is a lot of advice on starting your own business, on freelancing full-time, etc. However the parts of the book on resumes, looking for jobs, specializing, and interviewing were extremely helpful. Overall I think this is a great book. What I think it lacks is a lot of actionable advice. The author definitely leaves much of her observation open-ended. Despite that small downside and the fact that much of the book's topics are a little too advanced for someone like me, I think it is a book that all designers should have in their design library. ## Frequently Bought Together - How to Be a Graphic Designer withou: New expanded version - Thinking with Type, 2nd revised ed.: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students - Grid systems in graphic design: A visual communication manual for graphic designers, typographers and three dimensional designers (German and English Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4837367-how-to-be-a-graphic-designer-withou-new-expanded-version](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4837367-how-to-be-a-graphic-designer-withou-new-expanded-version) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
