Burn Your Portfolio
Stuff they don't teach you in design school, but should.
Paperback
The rare career guide for creative professionals that is not only laugh-out-loud funny, but practical as hell
Janda dispenses over 100 practical career-building tips in a blunt, humorous style with chapters like: 'We Decided to Go Another Direction' Means 'You Suck,' 'The Tragedy of Time Zones,' and 'Hire Toilet Cleaners'
The book is broken up into over 100 short, easily digestible, anecdote-based tips that can be read in any order
Janda provides advice on topics that creatives struggle with every day: teamwork and collaboration, relationship building, managing clients, bidding work, making and missing deadlines, and more.
It takes more than just a design school education and a killer portfolio to succeed in a creative career. Burn Your Portfolio teaches the real-world practices, professional do's and don'ts, and unwritten rules of business that most designers, photographers, web designers, copy writers, programmers, and architects only learn after putting in years of experience on the job.
Michael Janda, owner of the Utah-based design firm Riser, uses humor to dispense nugget after nugget of hard-won advice collected over the last decade from the personal successes and failures he has faced running his own agency. In this surprisingly funny, but incredibly practical advice guide, Janda's advice on teamwork and collaboration, relationship building, managing clients, bidding work, production processes, and more will resonate with creative professionals of all stripes.
