July 3, 2008Try Something Different
From Gus - The Possibility Hunter
It’s not often you can recommend a book before you’ve read it. And this is not one of those moments. But here are a couple of excellent book concepts, that make it clear that just departing from the ‘typical’ can set your work apart. So, without the hassle of actually reading anything…
1. Johnny Bunko by Dan H. Pink. It’s a career guide, but with a twist: It’s Manga – that’s Japanese-style cartooning to the uninitiated. This one inspired me to commission a new portrait for the blog, just to do something different.
Who would have thought it would take so many steps? If you’re sick of squeaky-clean de-toxed self-help propaganda… this might work for you. You can preview some of the book at the ‘The Next 45 Years’ along with some other excellent books.
So, what can you do to make your work stand out? Stay tuned for next month’s contemporary dance video-post of my favourite blog posts from around the web.
