Book Synopsis Great Graphics on a Budget by : Simon Dixon
Download or read book Great Graphics on a Budget written by Simon Dixon and published by Rockport Pub. This book was released on 2004-08 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the proliferation and expansion of the creative industry, the term "budget" has never been more relevant. It's the universal challenge every designer faces: how to create innovative work on a restricted budget. As a powerful driver of the creative process, it can affect any creative endeavor. With more companies cinching their budgetary belts tighter than ever, designers are pressed to find new and more inventive cost-cutting strategies. Great Graphics on a Budget includes the work of leading graphic and product designers from Europe, USA, and Australia, such as Aboud Sodano, EGO, Pentagram, Why Not Associates, Tangerine, and Cahan and Associates. With more than 50 case studies, it offers insights into the designers' thought process and reveals how they have invented, discovered, and recycled innovative ways to challenge not only the budget, but the client and brief as well. It shows that, regardless of resources, design and concept can remain strong and that a limited budget can even become a catalyst for some of the most creative designs produced.

These three variables are used in a pricing spectrum, empowering you to price your work with confidence and profitability in every project opportunity.
