Does anyone feel like we make stuff that actual humans will like, then we make stuff that is just like insider creative that is only cool to creatives? Like dumb overly concepted concepts?

Everything we do is completely ephemeral. But if you don't take anything too seriously, save your money and take as many vacations as you can, it's not a bad life 😎

I think the problem is we know the business so well that it actually hurts us. I always try to think, who gives fuck about this of how do I make them give a fuck. And if I can't figure out an answer it's probably a bad idea.

What RGA1 said. But often times UX is overruled bc creatives are emotionally attached to their overly concepted concepts

Agree. Not a creative but sometimes it feels creatives just want stuff to pad their book instead of meeting client goals

I’m new to the job hunting scene in the US.

When you’re a junior/mid level designer, are recruiters supposed to be thought of as gods/lifelines?

Are you supposed to feel lucky when they reach out to you and are you supposed to kiss their ass as much as possible or are you supposed to think of them as your friends and be honest about your views on things like salary and such?

Will I be equally fine not relying on getting a job through a recruiter at my stage??

My husband and I are going through our 2nd cycle. He initially asked me to allow his sister to administer my injections because she’s a nurse and I refused. I don’t like depending on people when I am capable of doing things myself. This is taking an emotional toll on me already, but I don’t want him to feel like I’m refusing his help and excluding him from the process, because I won’t take his suggestion. How do I get him to understand?

Thoughts on asking for a new manager?

So my current CD kinda doesn't give any direction. They look at what I've done and change like one word. Maybe I'm an acd and I don't need much oversight? They also ask me to help lighten their load but never know what needs to be done and tell me to ask the account or design team. I just don't think they are super interested in working any more. 1 junior and a mid level already asked to leave this team. I don't wanna cause trouble or get them (or me) fired
