every designer is overrated. At the end of the day its just a job and the general public will not remember that nice little poster or website you slaved for. They are rushing home to catch the latest episode of "Lost".

but we're all egomaniacs on a certain level, and we don't really care if the rest of the world understands or remembers our art. we want other designers to see our work and think we're cool.
and hype makes the world go around, so if you can drum some for your studio, it doesn't matter how awesome you are or aren't.

Yup, that's the truth of it...learn to talk and learn to talk well...I know brilliant,brilliant creative people who can't string words together well so unfortunately they won't go as far as a mildly talented gobshite.

the question should be - why most designers are UNDERRATED.... Being overrating doesn't show anything other than ones ability to promote oneself...

i try to tell myself that graphic design is at least a little more pure than advertising.
