Books for in-House Designers
A new member recently sent an email asking a couple questions that we thought would be best answered in two blog posts. The first, Books for In-House Designers, is a collections of our suggestions. If you have more, please leave a note in the comments. The second post will cover In-House Designer Company Rebranding Strategies, again we encourage you to leave comments on your strategies.

A note on the 750,000 Art Explosion – this is maybe the most embarrassing thing to put on your desk, wrap it in tear sheets from a magazine, but I do promise when that guy from marketing needs a map of his territory you’ll be glad you can just pull this sucker out.
