At a social media marketing/influencer agency
honestly it rips my soul out of my body but it pays the bills right….
it’s very cut throat and my bosses just gave me a 1 star review (even though I meet my deliverables and work 40/hrs a week and sometimes do video editing/motion design/graphic design)
I do not recommend it
Getting a salary for making Corporate Memes is absurd tho. Trying to at least laugh at that.
Looking forward to the inevitable mental collapse 🤡 or to rise like a phoenix magically out of the ashes one day TBD
i have a kind of corporate graphic design job and i haven’t really done a project 4 myself since i graduated so i decided to have a little creativity session w one of my best friends (who is also a graphic designer) and we built a concept for a project we are really excited about 😛
safe to say sometimes we’ve gotta sacrifice our free time of doing nothing to start chasing the things we want out in the world.
it depends on your priorities as a person and a creative. if it's stability, go for in-house/agency, but keep in mind that progression is kinda slow in this field and there's little to no room for creativity (depending on clients/team you work with). in terms of growth as a designer, i've learned so much working in an agency setting compared to in-house. there's less hand holding too in agencies because everything is fast paced so there's that :/
i'm lucky that our creative director doesn't mind us doing freelancing on the side. so yeah graphic design has its pros and cons and you really need to have the drive, discipline, and the right network* (like any other profession i guess) to progress.
i’m a runner currently training for a half marathon and in my search for some new running shorts / leggings i saw a lot of “these are great but i sweat through them so i wont be buying any more”
