Product Description
Pitch Deck Collection. Platform for young businesses. A true illustrated manifesto on how to be creative in the digital age, Steal Like an Artist, by designer and writer Austin Kleon, topped The New York Times bestseller list and featured in Amazon's 2012 ranking by showing – with humor, boldness, and simplicity – that you don't need to be a genius to be creative, you just need to be authentic. Based on a lecture given by the author at the State University of New York that quickly went viral on the internet, Steal Like an Artist puts readers in direct contact with their creative and artistic side and is a true manual for success in the 21st century. In this work, Austin shows, through positive messages, a differentiated graphic perspective, illustrations, exercises, and examples of how the reader can "activate" their creative side. Austin Kleon courageously presents new truths about creativity: nothing is original, so embrace influences, collect ideas, mix and reimagine to find your own path. If you like an artist, copy them, and copy their references. Find out who they like, who they copy, who their influences are, and take all of that for yourself. Be that artist, until you feel you're no longer copying but creating your own version. But to get to that point, you need to be smart, have a routine, a stable job that gives you money and provides support to be "wild" and daring within your imagination. Most importantly for readers, Steal Like an Artist focuses on practicality. Kleon wants to transform, change, and help the reader discover and activate their own creativity, and hopes to achieve this with all the tips and tricks he mentions in the book. Steal Like an Artist is a short and intense work, a sure shot to awaken that creative side that sleeps within all readers.
