I have been working in the creative industry for more than two decades. I have managed and employed hundreds of designers doing work for the biggest brands in the world. James has an elite level eye for detail and a creative spark that makes his work shine even compared to top talent worldwide. He has a rare gift and is, without a doubt, one of the most talented creatives I have seen in all my career." -- Michael Janda, best-selling author of Burn Your Portfolio "...his personality shines throughout... James is eighty percent drawing, and thats what I like most about the book. James doesnt hold back on sharing his sketches. Im positive thats what contributed to his huge Instagram appeal, too, because theres an insight you get from sketches that cant be seen in any other part of a design project." -- David Airey * LogoDesignLove.com * "From detailing the hundreds of logos hes designed to writing about how client relationships help fortify your vision, theres a lot youre going to learn from this book." * Just Creative *
