Creative Freedom: A Field Guide for Running a Graphic Design Business By Jeremy Johnson and Grant Johnson
The creative work? You've got that covered. But the quoting, the cashflow, the clients who ghost you after you send the invoice? That's where things get tricky.
Creative Freedom is a practical field guide for freelance graphic designers who want tested advice on the business side of design. Jeremy and Grant Johnson co-founded Rocketspark in 2009 and refined their processes from nervous early projects to running 30 concurrent client jobs with a tiny team. This book helps you skip the painful mistakes they made along the way.
Covering pricing (with real data), quoting, terms and conditions, project management workflows, getting into web design, and stories from other designers in the Rocketspark community, this is the stuff nobody teaches you about running a design business.
Includes a companion resource pack with templates for financial forecasting, quoting, terms and conditions, project management, and design briefs.
