Freelance Design Blog - 9.2.9

After three and a half years of designing I finally have my worked featured in a book. I submitted work for 'Symbols, Pictogram's and Symbols' by Marta Americh and published by Index Books (see below) over half a year ago so it has been a long wait to see my work in a book.

The unfortunate thing is they have spelt my name slightly wrong even though the proof was correct. When I began freelancing I would have been really annoyed and frustrated but these days I just laugh it off and focus on the next publication.



I also got confirmation that my work on 'Hotcan' will also feature in the book 'Packaging Identity' scheduled for release this winter.



I have submitted work for two other books including the popular 'Logo Lounge' series. I see publications as an important factor in promoting my work within the design industry and spend at least a couple of hours each week looking for publications to feature in.



Above is a recent illustration I did for mixm8.com and is also available for license.

I will aim to post shorter but more frequently so check back soon. Thanks for reading.

Good work! Shame about the typo though.
