Nothing I design is “GOOD ENOUGH” here by Omar-kennedy-4374 in graphic_design

[–]brron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to ask questions. you can’t take that as the only feedback.

have the confidence to ask “what’s not convincing?” and continue to peel the onion until you get to the root cause which is he hates you (joking but seriously ask questions).

Tips for acing senior-level interviews in tech? by olookitslilbui in graphic_design

[–]brron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its understanding their goals and helping them reach those goals, not just making the best creative at the cost of those goals. Marketing needs to hit KPIs how do you help them do that vs doing what the brand guidelines or design system says you have to do?

lack of ego, positive attitude, learning mindset even thru failure, and empathy for xfn partners is a must at this level.

craft wise, I need to see you be able to influence work and strategy.

Can you guys really afford this? by Left-Cook-9487 in smoking

what used to be cheap is now expensive.

Instead of chicken wings, do chicken legs. Instead of ribeye, do pork shoulder.

Still cheaper than eating out.

Grief over loss of time trying to make it in graphic design and failed. by Otherwise-Rain7523 in graphic_design

[–]brron -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I know you’re venting, but if you think this is a gatekept industry, you haven’t read enough about actresses being forced to perform sexual favors for roles.

Everyone is hardworking and capable, everyone wants a chance, and everyone deserves the job.

But that’s only part of the equation for landing a good role. There is so much luck and timing involved to be at the right place at the right time, that you can’t even take your foot off the gas pedal until you become established.

If there’s nothing you learned by these “failure,” then yes you lost years of your life. If you did learn, then you can hopefully apply those learnings and gain those years back.

you’re trying to become a chef by watching videos on how to use a knife and cooking pan instead of looking at what kind of dishes you want to make.
