I obviously haven’t read this book since it is not out yet, but I did see their lecture about the book. For designers so young they have accomplished a lot. They have a lot to teach about the transition from design student to design professional. If this book is anything like the lecture I saw, it will be a great resource for young designers.

As a graphic designer, I don’t understand why rest and reflection are anathema’s to the culture of a young designer. It creates quick trends that burn out quickly and leave everyone in the wake deflated and wanting, and force those seeking advancement to do just what the books title says: never sleep.

Dan & Andre were the roughest professors I’ve ever had. We received “Never Sleep” as a graduation present and through their insightful visual & narrative journey of successes and failures, I’ve grown to respect them. It was honest. And raw.

Thanks for the book, guys.

An honest and frank narrative about the journey these young designers made from student/designers to “real world” designers.

The sidebar articles from instructors, teachers, and professors is really powerful and adds a great deal to the stories.

Three things bother me about the book:

#1. The narrative is written in the third person. For people who are sharing such excruciating intimate details about their lives, it seems really odd to refer to “him” rather than “me” or “I”.

#2. Vulgarity. Do we really need to let the “F” bomb fly so often?

#3 The intimate details are, well. . . too intimate. Do we know so much about their personal lives? This level of personal information distracts from the otherwise helpful and positive message.

I have been waiting for this book for a long time and am happy that it is finally out! When it arrived in the mail i was pretty happy and it did not disappoint. It was funny, honest and very insightful. I would recommend this to other people for sure.
