    "I see too many students concerned with making things pretty, but caring too little about concept." -marychain

    So just because someone mocks up a project then the concept itself is no longer valid or good?

    "Photographing work by a professional photographer shows that you take your work seriously." -nylon

    Maybe an agency can afford this kind of thing. But what independent designer can hire a pro photographer after every project? They'd be losing money on every project. It's unrealistic. Just because you don't hire a photographer to shoot your work doesn't mean you don't take your work seriously.

    • Not what I meant. They do mediocre work...then mock it up in a professional template..marychain
    • and think that makes it good. This is more a student/graduate problem than a professional problem.marychain
    • well i agree with that. no mock-up is going to make bad work look good.iCanHazQBN
    • £300 every six months to photograph your work - surely this is a good idea?nylon
