MY BAD buying for someone who has this knowledge already. SOOOO just a heads up! Great book - love the printing of it and the content. As does the friend it was gifted to. Pheeeew. He loves reading and loves a break from online learning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How to think like a creative, act like a businessman and design like a God *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 May 2014* “How to think like a creative, act like a businessman and design like a God” – Although I can’t claim to have acquired a resulting godlike design prowess, I have to give this beautifully designed and bound publication an unreserved thumbs up. I figured that given its bold claims, great reviews, Drew de Soto’s 25 years of experience in the industry and the fact that it is an object of desire in itself, I just had to buy this book. I was not disappointed.Benefitting from a wealth of colour illustrations and a robust thread sewn binding, this is a handbook you can actually keep at hand and use year after year. While it may be that the more seasoned of us will learn less, about the principles of design, than the newly graduated; few readers will fail to gain some nuggets of valuable design advice. For my part, I found the information on typography invaluable. It is also very useful to have all such essential information in one place and I have already used its illustrations to help explain certain aspects of the trade to clients.I doubt whether there are any designers who would not benefit from at least some of de Soto’s business advice. There are none of the usual “we are all in the business of business” platitudes. It simply offers practical and straightforward advice on how to proceed, as a designer, in a manner more conducive to a profitable outcome. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written, well designed. Really inspiring. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 July 2015* I loved reading this book. For starters it is designed beautifully (as you'd hope for a book on this subject to be) - it's a pleasing size and if you're a stationary nerd you'll enjoy the materials its been made from.I'm not a qualified graphic designer, I'm self taught in the Adobe Creative Suite packages, I dabble in illustration and love picking out fonts. Reading this book has inspired me to finally go and get a graphic design qualification. Even the bits that aren't yet relevant to my day to day work, like the ins and outs of printing were interesting.I liked the author's sense of humour and turn of phrase - it wasn't patronising or too jargon heavy. I would imagine this is a handy book to have around even if you are a qualified graphic designer with a few years experience under your belt. It never hurts to read for inspiration or a new point of view.One tip - maybe don't read this on the beach like I did - the cover tends to absorb sun cream (-: ## Frequently Bought Together - Know Your Onions: Graphic Design - Graphic Design For Everyone: Understand the Building Blocks so You can Do It Yourself --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/47967402-know-your-onions-graphic-design-how-to-think-like-creative](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/47967402-know-your-onions-graphic-design-how-to-think-like-creative) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
