Hi! I’ve been a Graphic Designer/Art Director for the past 15 years. I lost my job last year and have been struggling to find any type of work since then. Due to hardship I had to relocate and stay with family in the Tampa area from NYC. Since I don’t have any connections down here I thought I would give this a try and see if anyone could help out! I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance 🙂✨ The struggle is real out there!

Anyone noticed the dip in the market and is tempted to sell at this point? My advice is HODL. History always repeats itself. The market will come back up and if you sell you will lose. This is the time to buy not sell. Let’s go 🚀

My ECD keeps changing our work before it goes to client and it's cost us making good work. Our books are suffering because he can't get his hands off the tools. Our books are only full of spec now.

I always wondered what kind of side jobs that copywriter could do?
I barely get an offer and when i do, i felt bad for charging it much so i always go with “pay as you wish”

I hated the Cheetos ad when I saw it last week until I saw all the other ads that came before it today :/

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

What’s DDB like these days?

Rule#34 in the freelancers playbook: always double/triple dip.Protect yourself against crap day rates by getting 2/3 day rates at once. Only way to make good money freelancing.

Is anyone else feeling completely hopeless about their job? Two years ago I still had so much zest and love for advertising. And now I feel miserable working long late hours and almost every weekend. I am underpaid because we’ve been on a freeze for over a year even though I’ve been promised one. I have no more motivation left in me to keep going. This job is killing me but I have no idea what else I could do. Any advice on getting out?

The creative contingent has convened and voted to disavow A Writer from the post 16 hours ago in hopes of keeping in tact the great PM / Creative alliance.

Any Deutsch LA CDs out there who wouldn't mind perusing my portfolio? I hear you have some cw openings and I'd absolutely love to work with you and for Karen Costello. DM if so and thank you!

Does anybody know which are the best in-house agencies to work for? Thanks!

I love Instagram, I really do! But sometimes I feel that as a creative the thought of "sticking" to an aesthetic makes me cringe! I feel that art & inspo should be free flowing - not confined to a box

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

Hey guys, question regarding new years resolutions. Anyone know some good books about how to lead better and step up to become a great CD?
