Designer or Artist?
2/13/2014I know its been a while since my last post. A lot has happened throughout that makes me question why I do the things I do, and whether or not I want to continue doing them.
One thing about being a designer I often hear people describe it as a balance between business and art. Designers have their vision but they need to lower their ego and assimilate their work along with the clients briefs/demands... blah blah blah...
I've been there, done all that, and very much tired of it all!
It's hard to enjoy having my vision altered, and my work micro-managed only to be reduced as a designing tool. Sure I get paid well for it, but Oh. My. Gawd. I can feel my soul disappearing everytime someone tells me to "make the black even more black"
That being said, there's still have a handful of clients I still enjoy working with! Some trust me and give me a lotta freedom, others might be picky but in a way that I learn from.
So as I'll be heavily screening any new clients that come my way... my plan is to focus my energy on being an "artist" rather than a "designer"
because in the end, If you don't enjoy creating it, who's gonna enjoy looking at it?
*end rant*
Here's a recent artwork!
