Start Your Own Graphic Design Business: Your Step-By-Step Guide to Success (StartUp Series)

This is a great job done by the author. It is straight to the point and gives direct information to Freelance Graphic designers to be. If you want to creat a graphic design company in the USA, and you don't have any orientation what your challenges would be, and you need quick information, then this book is for you.

I really don't know what to say about this book. It's helpful in some ways, but not exactly what I was expecting or looking for. Far too much of the "step-by-step" guidance is too general or are of stories about other's success. The back flap states "learn the...day-to-day operations", but I don't see anything about that. Maybe I blinked and missed it, or maybe it just wasn't what I was expecting they meant by daily operation, but that aspect is what I was most interested in. This book is only 138 pages, so really how much of a step-by-step guide can it be? It's useful here and there for graphic designers, but a majority the book is nothing you won't find in any other general business book.

A great overall look at running a graphic design business, as a freelancer or founder of a design firm. It's filled with a lot of helpful information and questions that make you think. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the typos. Proofread, people! The typos are plenty enough to be slightly distracting at some points, though most are subtle mistakes. But it bothered me enough that I had to take a break from reading at one point to focus on something else.

This book addresses a lot. It talks about everything from education, to why people leave, experiences of those in the field and even gives you examples of contracts. This is a great all-in-one and I highly recommend it!

As promised.

Great book. Easy read. Very helpful

It does not contain much info. It is very brief. I bought the book The Creative Side of Business which has proven to be more useful.
