Graduation Guide for Design Students

This book is the perfect gift for all design students who embark on their most stressful year in design graduation year. This guide helps the student to graduate as a designer by giving practical advice, design advice, and by suggesting ways to make graduation less stressful and more enjoyable. The advice is always very much on point and presented as double-page spread posters with smart and funny illustrations and short handwritten texts. You would want many of the spreads to hang on the door of your student room or studio. The dust jacket is a fold-out poster that you can actually put on your wall. It is maybe the most important advice for the final exam "Work Hard, Have Fun & Nooo Drama!"

Really pretty book for a helpful short read,

When reading the first pages I was immediatelly in love with the illustrations and the overall design of the book. It had a very fun style to look at and the colors were really nice as well.
Though, if you are a graphic designer or you're studying to be one, than the first tips aren't really any news to you. But try to read past those and than later you will find some more helpful ones.
It doesn't really go in to detail about things, but either way it's a handy book to have, for when you're stuck you can just open it again and see if there's anything in there to help you out of that.

The only reason why I gave this book five stars is because the illustrations inside the book.

You can finish this book in one sitting, it is more like a fun reading than conventional practical advice, so you can read it fast. Overall, the book features some tips to help designer or soon-to-be graduate design students to stay inspired and creative.

I love the illustrations and hand-lettering quotes inside, it makes you want to capture it and post it on your instagram hahaha

3,5/5 - Heel leuke illustraties (4/5) en een ideaal boekje om vlug eens door te lezen wanneer je een beetje in een dipje zit in uw creatief proces. Verwacht geen grote, vernieuwende inzichten, of veel tekst over een bepaald onderwerp. Dit boekje moet het hebben van een snelle vrolijke schop onder uw kont.
