I read this book and experienced so many rushes of deja vous I couldn't believe it! It's interesting how so many in the design profession experience similar situations, and cope with them in similar ways. While Pat Knapp has done a wonderful job putting this book together, I suspect she has no idea how much truth is contained therein.
      All graphic designers find themselves hampered by tight deadlines and even tighter budgets. This title tells busy professionals how to safeguard their creativity when the odds are stacked against them. Readers will find a host of war stories from fellow designers along with straightforward advice for overcoming such common creativity issues as:
  • Budget limitations
  • Difficult client communications
  • Deadline pressures
  • Artwork limitations
You'll find out how to deal with less frequent-but equally devastating-problems like computer failure and personnel losses.
      It's well designed with fresh lively visuals throughout -- and the book's size is just right for (7 x 5) taking along, or reading on the run. I recommend it highly!
