TOO COOL TO JOIN A UNION? JOIN A UNION.
Hello. Mike here with a merch update! If you order a Design Is a Job zine this week you’ll be getting three things:
A lovely hot pink pencil with a fun message that changes as you sharpen the pencil. (Kids who spent high school getting understandably high will know the reference.)
A wee soap that will help to get the ink off your hands after reading the zine. I’m nothing if not considerate.
The zine. Duh.
Now, you’re probably sitting there thinking “Holy shit what an amazingly fun little care package for the designer on my Christmas list! It’s perfect but I don’t think I can spare the cash, this looks like it would cost a small fortune! It’s certainly worth it. Just the zine itself has changed so many people’s career trajectories for the better. It’s invaluable!”
NINE BUCKS. That’s right. The Nice Price. Why so low? I priced it to get into the hands of the people who need it most.
Also, if you’re wanting it by Christmas, you might wanna get in here quick.

DESIGN IS A JOB A book about how to work by Mike Monteiro
P.S. I've also very quietly added the audiobook to the site, mostly because I wanted to tell YOU about it, and to see if it was actually working for folks before I made a big announcement. So, if you're willing, for the next 24 hours the code MIKEINYOURHEAD gets you a free download. Just let me know if you have any issues with the file. It’s DRM-free and it shooouuuuuld open it in your audiobook reader of choice.
Be nice to each other and to yourselves. You’ve worked enough this year. All is love.
