Reviews Gone Bad: 100 Habits of Successful Freelance Designers

June 23rd, 2009 | by Nate Voss
Posted In: Reviews Gone Bad, Video

Welcome to our brand new feature — more than 30 years in the making — Reviews Gone Bad. Yes, we are aware that we have created a powerful design acronym, and now we seek to create something much greater.

Some people might shrug off launching a new feature as lo-fi as we have here, (and lo-fi afficionados should buckle-up) the content is there, if not the proper tools. This will be corrected with time, I imagine. For now, check out the video by clicking the link below. Eventually this regular feature will be available as a video podcast an in other media, but for now you can get it right here:

Today, finally, we coax Steve Gordon into revealing his new book, 100 Habits of Successful Freelance Designers, available this Spring from Rockport. While we dart and dash between a few topics (such as Donovan’s absurd GI Joe collection and my resultant absurd level of jealousy) Steve drops info bombs on where the book came from, what it’s all about, and what readers can expect when it releases.

Also on Episode 22 we cover the 2008 36 Point Holiday Design Review, reviving an old favorite from the Be A Design Cast days, which will be dictated to us by you, our readers and listeners. We also touch on a very, very important topic regarding the STEP 100 Reader’s Choice awards this year. Listen in and wonder –
