Yes, it is a luxury. I found it by getting a day job designing for a different company, and then at night I can design whatever for whoever I choose. I highly recommend it. It's lowered my stress level about all the "artistic integrity" bullshit we have to face in this profession.

the luxury to "choose" clients must be nice.

emo...look..i don't stay hardline on that philososfy.some times i also give in to clients.

This is the designer's cunundrum. We want to create design that makes sense to us, the designer who thinks about design almost all the time (minus some time for sex), but our art is somehow subordinate to stupid fuckers with cash and opinions void of any design experience or background. Too many designers let themselves be client bitches, when it should be the exact opposite.
Sadly, it doesn't matter how good you are. Any dumb-fucker can look at a piece of art and exclaim his/her own opinion about it as if it were fact. Likewise, that person can also exclaim to you how you should do your job... or else you don't get paid.
Not everyone is creative, but our happy-mushy Disney brainwashed society thinks everyone is special. Likewise, everyone thinks they are also creative when this just isn't true. It's in fact such a wild distortion that is rampant in society. "I painted a picture in art class and got a gold star, so I must be creative!" Bullshit. Such fucking bullshit.
What a nice profession we have, eh? The trick is to accept clients that listen to you and respect your creativity. Tell the others to go fuck off.
Whew... Talk about a "let it all out" moment. LOL

money = happy monkey and sleep with family member = happy monkey thus sleeping with family member = money thus prostitution is ok as long as you can make the poster you want?
- emokid0
tank, i shared your philosophy a few years ago but the longer i do what i do, the more i realize that it really is true.
you can either fight every step of the way losing half the battles stuggling constantly. or you can be the monkey and give the client what they want and you don't have to feel like shit in the process by giving a damn.
- doesnotexist0
