Design is creative work.
In theory.
In reality, it's also:
- Explaining why the logo shouldn't be bigger
- Hearing Can we make it pop? for the 14th time
- Seeing feedback that says Something feels off
- Opening files named final_final_v7_REALFINAL
Just Make It Pop! is a brutally relatable collection of 470 pages of design humor from inside the creative process.
Clients.
Meetings.
Agency chaos.
Endless revisions.
And the strange journey from idea to approved with changes.
If you've ever:
- moved something two pixels to the left
- defended white space like your life depended on it
- heard the words just one quick tweak
then you already understand the process.
Inside this book you'll find 470 pages of painfully accurate design humor covering:
- client feedback
- agency life
- creative meetings
- revision chaos
- freelancer struggles
- the strange psychology of creative work
WARNING: INSANE DESIGN HUMOR INSIDE
A brutally relatable book for:
- graphic designers
- UI/UX designers
- freelancers
- creative directors
- design students
- marketing teams
- anyone who has survived a client meeting
If you work in design, this book will make you laugh.
And possibly question your life choices.
This book should come with a warning label for designers.
- Jonas Richter, Modern Studio
I started reading this during a meeting.
That was a mistake.
- Hannah Leclerc, The Process Journal
I tried reading just a few pages before bed.
Forty pages later I was still laughing and slightly concerned about my career.
- Oliver Grant, Creative Method
This might be the most accurate documentation of creative work ever written.
Which makes it slightly terrifying.
