As with soup, or cereal or any product sold via shelf or photo, the outside must dramatize the inside and resonate with the customer in some way. 2. The task and the joy of a designer [...]

1. You need to know Why You Want to be Published You must ask yourself and answer the question, “…why do you want to be published?” Some feel called to educate and inspire, while some want to “entertain” and tell a story, either fiction or non-fiction.
