ADRIAN SHAUGHNESSY

HOW TO BE A GRAPHIC DESIGNER WITHOUT LOSING YOUR SOUL

DESIGN LECTURE

WED 19 OCT 7.00pm £5/£3 CONCS

What are the ethical and practical issues facing designers today? How do you prepare a business plan, find and keep clients, set up a studio or pitch for work? Perhaps most important of all, how can you create meaningful work without losing your shirt or your soul? For his latest book ‘How to be a Graphic Designer…’ (Laurence King £17.95, available from bookshop after the event) Adrian Shaughnessy, co-founder of design consultancy Intro, interviewed ten of the most respected designers working today. Tonight he will share some of these insights into the rapidly changing world of graphic design.

PERSPECTIVE

Rose Flint says of Ride On: ‘beautiful, brave writing. The story closes like a fist around your heart, makes it hard to breathe as you read and can’t stop reading, voices from a lifetime that utterly engages us, makes us desperate for the writer’s own redemption.’
