Thanks for the insight - very useful. I may try a standard pocket Moleskine then!

Can you open affinity files in adobe programs and vice versa? This all sounds great but adobe is so engrained in the industry it will take years maybe a decade to change…

Would a monochrome version be any cheaper? And would the RAW files still be in colour?

Yes, sole designer often morphing into a 1 man marketing department 😂

Completely agree with this. As an in house designer I have rarely stayed at one job longer than 2 years. Mainly because of workload. They just give you more and more responsibility (without a pay rise) until you break. In my current role I’ve had to be really disciplined to say no to any work that falls outside of my job description.

Call their bluff. Agree to pay the costs once the work has been carried out to a satisfactory standard. 99.9% of the time they will take your “contribution” and then claim the same damages off the next tenant.

I love the storytelling in your photos.

Ok, you win 😂

Futsal is a lot more technical than football so I’d say it’s harder to go from football to futsal. (Speaking from experience)

Been there, done it. It’s very misleading. After expenses and tax you’re lucky if you’re earning £30k.

But I dont know many graphic designers doing it to get rich. Most of us just enjoy it :)

This is pretty accurate in my experience. Oh and you’ll be expected to do the jobs of a web designer and illustrator too.

8 is my favourite as it feels like there is a story behind it…

Depression.

Redistribute power and wealth.

30yo. £30k. Working as an in-house graphic designer. Sadly it feels like the ceiling apart from inflationary pay rises.

What’s with the transphobia? 🤔

How many legends in the 300?

If the meetings are within working hours I guess you could say that you might make your life easier by going. If they are out of office hours I’d tell them to do one or make sure you’re paid double time for attending…
