Description
It takes more than only a design school education and a killer portfolio to reach a creative career. Burn Your Portfolio teaches the true-world practices, professional do’s and don’ts, and unwritten rules of business that most designers, photographers, internet designers, copy writers, programmers, and architects only learn after setting up years of experience at the job.
Michael Janda, owner of the Utah-based design firm Riser, uses humor to dispense nugget after nugget of hard-won advice collected during the last decade from the private successes and screw ups he has faced running his own agency. On this surprisingly funny, but incredibly practical advice guide, Janda’s advice on teamwork and collaboration, relationship building, managing clients, bidding work, production processes, and more will resonate with creative professionals of all stripes.
