    No, do not wear jeans, Rand. In all seriousness, if I were meeting a creative for some potential work, that would be the first thing I'd notice. Self presentation is almost as important as the quality of your work.

    • if i was meeting you and you always refered to me as 'a creative' i'd kick your assoozie
    • even more important is that you "know" someone in the industry from a design forum.TheBlueOne
    • Wait, what? Calling a designer a creative is taboo now?hedge
    • no when you say it it's patronizing and ignorant and inacurate anywayoozie
    • ...your head would be caved in with a bat in no timeoozie
    • Oh, so only other creatives can call someone a creative? When I say it, it's demeaning?hedge
    • it's inacurate period i don't call anyone 'a creative', creative maybe, creative company...sure.oozie
    • some dick head in french cuff's calling me 'a creative' when i'm there to do business is a punchable offenseoozie
    • Would it be alright if I called you a designer?hedge
    • 'creative' is like one of those industry tags that mean nothing and just keep people in their place.oozie
    • I design sometimes but most likley if i was meeting an investment fund manager i'd do a lot more than thatoozie
    • but i wouldn't wear jeans. cords, nicish pants, patterned shirt...tucked inoozie
