I purchased In-House Design In Practice: Real-World Solutions for Graphic Designers by Cathy Fishel. It’s exciting to see more interest and design outlets for inhouse work. AIGA and DMI both have inhouse-specific content on their sites now. And of course GD USA and HOW magazines have done a fantastic job of casting some light on the inhouse design department caves with their American Inhouse Design Awards,  In-HOWse Designer Conference and In-HOWse Design Awards issue.

Here’s what I found on Cathy.

Cathy Fishel has written and edited for graphic designers, ad agencies and allied organizations for more than 20 years. Former editor of Step magazine and Dynamic Graphics magazine, she is a contributing editor for PRINT magazine and is editor of LogoLounge.com.

In-House Design in Practice presents case studies of Tim Hale from Fossil, Michael Lejeune of Metro (The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority), Nickelodeon, Virgin Atlantic, Whirlpool and 15 or 20 others.

I’ve only read the first few pages but I’m really interested in digging deeper into this book. I’ll report back in a future posting.

Anyone else read the book? (leave a comment or email me)
