The Designer's Survival Manual

The Designer's Survival Manual

by PoppyEvans (Author)

Synopsis

Designers are collaborators. They almost always work in some sort of team on most projects, and have to rely on vendors - printers, service bureaus, illustrators or photographers - they hire to help them realize their vision of the piece being designed. This book pulls together a wealth of insider information from all of the vendors with whom designers collaborate and gives time and cost-saving tips on how to work with the vendor to get the best results. Vendors covered include typesetters, service bureaus, photographers, copywriters, illustrators, printers, Internet service providers, interior designers and building contractors. Information for each is presented in bite+sized tips, and each chapter contains a checklist that designers can use to make sure they've covered all the bases before lining up the vendor in question. With this book, designers will learn to communicate with vendors to get the inside information that will help them get their work done faster, better and cheaper.
