The Business Skills Every Creative Needs! Remaining relevant as a creative professional takes more than creativity--you need to understand the language of business. The problem is that design school doesn't teach the strategic language that is now essential to getting your job done. Creative Strategy and the Business of Design fills that void and teaches left-brain business skills to right-brain creative thinkers. Inside, you'll learn about the business objectives and marketing decisions that drive your creative work. The curtain's been pulled away as marketing-speak and business jargon are translated into tools to help you: Understand client requests from a business perspective Build a strategic framework to inspire visual concepts Increase your relevance in an evolving industry Redesign your portfolio to showcase strategic thinking Win new accounts and grow existing relationships You already have the creativity; now it's time to gain the business insight. Once you understand what the people across the table are thinking, you'll be able to think how they think to do what we do.

Ready to live on purpose and build a thriving business that embraces your creative potential? There are intimately interconnected elements that contribute to your ability to thrive as a creative or entrepreneur. When these elements are in balance you feel confident and have an intuitive ability to make the best decisions. As a creator or innovator, this is critical to your personal sense of well-being as well as the health of your business or creative pursuits. The foundational elements of The Creative Blueprint are fulfillment, freedom and fortune -- keys to self-identify and success -- and all three must be balanced in order to thrive. Freedom means empowerment to live on your own terms and freely express your ideas, talents and interests. Fulfillment is obtained by listening to your intuition and building a growth mindset to enhance creative output. Fortune is a natural byproduct of mastering the art of creating wealth for others so you can live abundantly as well. This book is for you if you are: trying to start a business or creative pursuit but can't get it off the ground, wanting to grow a business or creative pursuit that's not earning as much as you'd like struggling to balance your business or creative pursuit with your personal life It is especially relevant to you if you're facing fear, frustration or failure as you pursue a purpose-driven life and build your business. As these emotions are symptoms of a lack of flow -- blocks in one or more areas of your creativity that are hindering you from creating, innovating and working at your most optimal state. The Creative Blueprint is the first book in the Abundant Business Blueprint series of lightweight guides designed especially for independent spirits -- designers, freelancers, coaches, consultants and small business owners -- who want to build a thriving, purpose-driven business that gives them freedom, fulfillment and financial success.

Learn how to price creative work with confidence. Win more bids. Make more money. When it comes to pricing their work, far too many freelance designers and agencies merely guess what to charge their clients. As a result, profitable projects have as much to do with luck as they do anything else. In The Psychology of Graphic Design Pricing, you'll learn how to take luck out of the equation by calculating the cost to produce your work, understanding its market value, and extracting your client's budget. These three variables are used in a pricing spectrum, empowering you to price your work with confidence and profitability in every project opportunity. This book will teach you how to calculate your production costs, understand market value, extract your client's budget, bid with the right project price, and increase your profitability.

Is your company all bizz -- filled with professional managers, accountants, and financial planners who produce "smooth operations" but offer no customer savvy or soul? Or is it all buzz -- filled with talk, hype, and the brainstorming of half-cooked ideas that often lead nowhere? To capture the best of these dichotomous worlds, creativity expert Bernd H. Schmitt and accomplished business writer Laura Brown introduce a groundbreaking model of a creative organization they call "The Garage." This powerful new framework demonstrates how any executive can manage the creative tension between the analytic, rational side of business and its dynamic, innovative side. After laying out the broad mission, or "blueprint," for constructing The Garage, Schmitt and Brown present The Toolbox -- specific instruments for infusing creativity into all aspects of a business -- and show how to use The Blueprint and The Toolbox as essential strategy, recruiting, resource, and communications devices. At the center of this immensely readable book are the "Mastercrafts of The Garage" -- technology, branding, and customer-experience management -- the organizational forces that guarantee creative efforts are coordinated and well implemented to provide competitive advantage. To illustrate particular aspects of creativity, Schmitt and Brown open each chapter with a story or "business parable," each written in a different genre -- horror, detective, love story, or fairy tale -- accompanied by evocative photographs. They also draw on scores of cutting-edge examples of creative, innovative ventures such as American Express's Blue, W Hotels, Eli Lilly's "Answers That Matter," SAP, and NTT DoCoMo's i-mode. Build Your Own Garage is timely and instructive reading for any manager charged with the mandate to bring to market quickly the most useful and innovative products and services.
