I've been taking a different approach. I started poring over books on people like Dieter Rams, reading about other design oriented fields like fashion,advertising (Ogilvy's book is amazing) architecture, etc. It's been hugely helpful and just fun in it's own right.
- dirtyaura 15y agoWhich one of Ogilvy's books you meant (or recommend): Confessions of an Advertising Man (2004) or Ogilvy on Advertising (1985)?
- jeremydavid 15y ago"Ogilvy on Advertising" is his most famous book
- dirtyaura 15y agoThanks, that was what I ordered. And it seems Confessions is actually from 60s, just the print sold in Amazon was from 2004.
- justincormack 15y agoConfessions is a good read, suspect it covers a lot of the same ground, but with autobiography added, although havent read the other. Good writing about advertising is interesting, though there is not much of it.
