    Three rules for a happy designer

    1. It’s all bollocks and none of it really matters. Yes really. That stress about the thing that went really wrong, your burning desire to make this your best design ever that in turn makes you miserable, the argument about the late print, graphic design, none of this is what really really matters in life. Release yourself from that stress. No one is dying. It’s pixels, type and colour. Work hard, but enjoy it and relax.

    2. Be with the people you love. don’t work with dicks. Life is short, enjoy it, treat your colleagues well. Be part of and build a team, laugh a lot, have fun doing everything. You’re lucky, seriously.

    3. Empathy and understanding should be in your every day. Put yourself in their shoes, stand where the junior stands, stand where the CD stands. If you are senior then stay at the coal face, put out the rubbish and load the dishwasher. Don’t sit in big ivory towers of status and pomp. Understand people and why they are who they are.

    Oh and smile you miserable trendy glasses wearing twats.
