DYLBook_DuskJacket_Front_Ribbon_LR.jpgInternational design luminary and CEO/ECD of Sydney agency Frost*collective, Vince Frost, will host a book launch and Q&A session tailored specifically for those in the design, advertising and creative industries.

 

Taking place at Ariel Booksellers in the heart Paddington’s design precinct bordered by the University of NSW’s College of Fine Arts and the National Art School, the free event on November 26 will be an opportunity for anyone in the industry, or those studying in the field, to have an intimate conversation with Frost and hear him read excerpts from his new book, Design Your Life.

 

Says Frost: “The book and the design principles it explores are the culmination of a 25 year career in design and advertising and a life that has been fully immersed in this world. I have a lot of knowledge to share with professionals in these disciplines as well as those just breaking in to the industry and this event will really be about talking with them.”

At the book launch and talk, Frost will speak about the design and advertising landscape, read some of his favourite passages from Design Your Life, sign copies of his book and chat with attendees.

 

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. Frost believes Design Your Life has something to offer those who work in creative fields, as well as the wider public and will provide a clear and achievable guide to improving your life.

 

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, published by Penguin’s Lantern imprint, is the first consumer title penned by Frost, but his second book. A 500 page tome, Frost*, was produced to accompany a retrospective of his graphic design work at the Sydney Opera House in 2006. The book retails for $49.99 and is available online and at quality bookstores nationwide.

 

The industry event will take place from 6pm until 7.30pm on Wednesday 26 November, at Ariel Booksellers, 42 Oxford Street, Paddington, in Sydney. RSVP at www.designyourlife.com.au.
