Frost*collective ECD + CEO Vince Frost launches new lifestyle book ‘Design Your Life’ via Penguin
Sydney-based graphic designer, Vince Frost, has announced today that his new design-inspired lifestyle and self-help book Design Your Life, will launch on October 22.
The 240-page consumer title, designed and authored by Frost, is published in Australia by Penguin’s Lantern imprint.
The executive creative director and CEO of independent creative company Frost*collective, has drawn on his personal life and a 25 year career as a design professional, to reveal a range of insights into how design principles can be utilised to improve every aspect of our lives.
Says Frost: “You don’t have to be a designer to design your life. But it doesn’t hurt to have some help. If my design process brings value to me, perhaps it can bring value to others. Or, more radically, bring others to recognise their own value”.
Design Your Life covers Frost’s 15 simple, but solid principles that can be used to make personal change for the better, as well as interviews with a range of experts, influencers and collaborators, including; OzHarvest’s Ronni Kahn; professor Roy Green, dean of the UTS Business School; trend forecaster and CEO of The Future Laboratory and LSNGlobal, Chris Sanderson; editor of Wired magazine, Scott Dadich; hotelier and entrepreneur, Justin Hemmes; Australian Kiteboarding champion, Ewen Jaspen; productivity consultant, David Allen; and head of workplace at Lend Lease, Natalie Slessor.

Says Frost: “This book will not solve your problems. You have to do that yourself. But this book will inspire you to work better at living better.”
Design Your Life is the first consumer title penned by Frost, but his second published book. A 500 page tome, Frost*, was produced to accompany a retrospective of his graphic design work at the Sydney Opera House in 2006.
Frost has plans to expand the Design Your Life brand and will continue in his professional role as CEO and ECD of Frost*collective and its agencies, brand and communications specialists, Frost* Design, environmental design consultancy, Urbanite and digital agency, The Nest.
Design Your Life retails for $49.99 and is available exclusively via online pre-order now at www.designyourlife.com.au. Buyers who purchase through this site before October 17, will receive a signed copy of the book. Design Your Life goes on sale to the general public at all good bookshops nationally, from October 22.
To accompany the book, Frost has also designed a series of A5 cards and A0 sized posters, featuring typographic representations of positive affirmation statements from the book, which are available for sale.
