: What are your key books for reflecting about graphic design education? I own "The Education of a Graphic Designer" by Steven Heller. It's a great collection of essays to help teachers reflect

@Turnbaugh909

Design is a Job by Mike Monteiro

Don't Make me Think by Steven Krug

And the Pricing & Ethical Guidelines

Beyond this articles in How magazine

.. All things which speak to cursory or tangent concepts -- how design is seen, how design is interacted with, how design can support you or cause your failure, how to deal with clients, how to price, business ethics, etc... nothing really about "this is how to design". (Except maybe the Krug book to a degree.)

I know is not a book that explains how to teach or related, but as a student bought "how to be an illustrator" by Darrel Rees, was the best book I read, I'm still reading it every year, it's lessons helped me not only on illustration, but graphic design, business administration and my personal life. Worth the read, you might get some inspiration.
