Nobody in the creative field wants to become a starving artist. Yet the majority strive to make it big in a metropolitan city. Surviving is tough, but surviving in New York as a designer is even tougher. We, a typography class at the Columbus College of Art & Design, have compiled a book of selected agencies and designers in New York City detailed with their projects and company information. It was created as a guide for our trip, but we hope it can be useful for any designer with an interest in New YorkÕs graphic design and advertising industry. So, whether youÕre searching for inspiration,looking for a job, or wanting the best pizza slice in the city, our guide will help you find your way.
