The Creative Business Guide to Running a Graphic Design Business Review
I picked up this book at the library. It was recommended to me by Ryan Warren of L+R Media Group, a recent startup in Indianapolis.
The copy of this book that I read was published in 1996, but on most of the topics it still addresses today?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s issues. At 400 pages and similar to a textbook in pace, I recommend browsing this book unless you are just about to start a business yourself–then memorize it or buy the book and reference it frequently.
Topics include what price to bill (billable and non-billable hours), information on partnerships and incorporation, time management, accounts billable, dealing with/attracting clients, and much of the necessaries of running a successful business that they don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t teach at arts and communication schools.
