Here's a request from designer/author Peg Faimon:


Design Community:

I’m working on a book, Designer’s Guide to Business and Careers, to be published in 2009 by HOW Design Books. I’d like to gather diverse perspectives and advice for new college grads and young design professionals on the following topics:
Job interviewing
Job search strategies
Job negotiations
Professional development
Staying fresh, creative and energized
General tips for freelancing
Working effectively with clients
Working effectively with writers, photographers, and illustrators
Working effectively with programmers and interactive designers
Working effectively with printers and paper companies

If you have any great war stories and/or advice on how to succeed in the field of design, in any or all of the above categories, I’d love to hear from you. Please email me directly at faimonma@muohio.edu. You will, of course, be credited as a contributor to the book.
