Win an honest guide to getting started in design

[Rss Bot 1]

Much of the guidance available to young, aspiring creatives is a feedback loop of inane maxims and idle advice, constantly spinning the  same strained clichés.

Craig Oldham's new book makes a genuine and honest attempt to  bridge the gap between graduates and the creative industry. It covers education, portfolios, freelancing, salaries and how much you should be charging.

Oldham is completely honest about the good, and the bad, in your chosen career path. And because all great ideas start in the pub, the book is printed on beermat board in neon ink. 

Oh Sh*t What Now? is published in April 2018, but we have five copies to give away, worth £17.99 each.
