Review
This book is pretty much an indispensable piece of work for any creative person who runs, or aspires to run, their own design studio. There's a series of interviews with studio heads and sole practitioners from some great design firms which focus not on their work, but the history and culture of their studios. How they set up, how they get clients, how they run their studio, and their general approach to business.
Allied to the interviews, there are reproductions of work, photographs of the design studios, and a detailed section at the end going through what a design studio needs to set up, from equipment and furniture to archiving and billing systems.
It's a fantastic book, full of ideas, and highly recommended.
