Ellen Lupton's Judge's Choice Award:
Brutally Honest, No-bullshit business strategies to evolve your creative business
Brutally Honest by Emily Cohen is billed as a highly visual, concise, direct, honest, and, hopefully, entertaining business book full of advice, insights, and best practices for everything from new business development to proposals to staffing and everything in-between. The book is a sight to behold and a delight to hold. Designed by Once-Future Office, Brutally Honest is the perfect size to slip into a bag and carry on the go, but the visual progression of colorful gradients begs for it to be splayed atop a coffee table and admired.
Featuring glowing gradients and a spectrum of pages flooded with fluorescent hues of orange, purple and pink contrasted by a dark, deep matte black cover, Brutally Honest wasn’t just written for designers — it was designed for them.
