Designers in Handcuffs: How to Create Great Graphics When Time, Materials and Money Are Tight
Lack of budget. Lack of colour. Near-impossible deadlines. Bad photography. The list of constraints that designers face can go on and on. In this book, designers share their war stories and offer solid advice to their peers on how to survive when their hands seem tied. In four sections, this book identifies the key areas of constraint in graphic design projects: budgets, deadlines, client relationships and artwork. A fifth section addresses other, more unexpected limitations, like computer failure or loss of key personnel. The information in this book is collected from graphic designers at all levels, making it a true forum for designers to share experiences and solutions.
