Seeking advice- I’m an AD in advertising hoping to switch to publishing design/cover design. I have fake covers in my book, but no real authors. Is the best route to find some authors to make covers for, or is it possible to connect with publishers/talent agencies?

Agree, maybe take on covers as a side gig if you have the bandwidth? I’m sure you’re curating your work to show a specific style so that’s probably more important in the beginning than whether or not your projects are real

It is possible to do it both ways. It would probably be best to have some real examples before hand if you could though.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Finally got my first role as a UX Designer! Extremely excited and wanted to thank everyone that helped me out with questions and input!
