How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul






Designers are quick to tell us about their sources of inspiration, but they are much less willing to reveal such critical matters as how to find work, how much they charge, and what to do when a client rejects three weeks of work and refuses to pay the bill. How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul 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.
The book also includes inspiring interviews with ten leading designers, including Rudy VanderLans (Emigre), John Warwicker (Tomato), Neville Brody (Research Studios), and Andy Cruz (House Industries). All told, How to be a graphic designer covers just about every aspect of the profession, and stands as an indispensable guide for any young designer.

A magyar karácsony szó szláv eredetű, őse a régi szláv nyelvben szereplő korcsun szó, amely lépőt, átlépőt jelentett. A szó jelentése utal az új esztendőbe való átlépésre, tehát naptári eredetű csakúgy, mint a lengyel kolenda vagy az orosz koljáda, ami karácsonyi éneket jelent.

Az angol Christmas Krisztus nevére utal. A német Weihnacht és a holland kertsmisse pedig szent éjt jelent, tehát e szavak egyházi eredetűek. A latin Natalis (születés) szóból ered a francia noel, az olasz natale, a spanyol navidad és a walesi nadoling szavak mindegyike. Létezik még a karácsony megnevezésére a skandináv Jul szó, és ennek óangol változata, a Yule. Pontosan nem tudni mit jelentett eredetileg, valószínűleg a télnek azt a szakaszát, amelyet ma is a téli ünnepi időszaknak tekintünk.

Fresh Dialogue 22: Making Magazines






This year's Fresh Dialogue presents three young publishing gurus who are reinventing how magazines are made. They've thrown off the templates and formulas of traditional publishing in favor of new and innovative approaches to magazine making. Find out what inspired them to take matters into their own hands. Representing the next generation of publishing kingpins, we have: Tod Lippy, creator of the luscious biannual arts publication Esopus; Lisa Farjam, the force behind Middle-East culture magazine Bidoun; and master storyteller David Haskell, editor-in-chief of Topic magazine. And to moderate this evening of lively discussion will be magazine industry mover, shaker and supreme tastemaker, James Truman. AIGA/NY
