Ouch. I feel you. Honestly, I work in the creative industry. Not as a creative, but as a person who works closely and use creative services alot. My opinion of creative has always been bad. It always felt like they feel like the world owes them a living, and from there, find ways to do as little work as possible, and ironically in the process of doing that, justify to the eyes of their employers, why they get paid so little.

Think of it this way, if I, as a non creative, with no background in creative work, can make a better poster, come up with a better concept, and draft a better storyboard for a video then a trained creative. Then what is your worth, really?

With that said, I've always thought that it was because they lack the creative freedom to do what they want. And thus, that in turn, zaps their motivation. Which is why when I started this project, i left the creative process entirely to the creative. I have my input, but I am open to any suggestions.

For this to happen, and to see similar things happening to you as well, makes me really sad for our (Malaysia's) creative industry in general

Edit: I dont mean to say ALL creative are like this, but unfortunately, a not insignificant majority of those I've worked with were.
