by the Book : How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul

Join AIGA Charlotte for the June by the Book. We will be reading How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul by Adrian Shaughnessy. This book 'addresses the concerns of young designers who want to earn a living by doing expressive and meaningful work, and who want to avoid becoming hired drones working on soulless projects. Written by a designer for designers, it combines practical advice with philosophical guidance to help young professionals embark on their careers.' Seasoned designers are welcome as well. Read to rejuvenate your love of the field while reflecting on the goods and bads of your career thus far.

AIGA Charlotte's 'by the Book' is a book club for designers who like to read (or want to read more) design focused books. We meet bimonthly to talk about the ins & outs of the selected book for that session.

Have something on your shelf you've been meaning to read? We are always open to suggestions for future reading.
