I had a rant about the sheer overwhelming number of people in 'the creative industry' here, and then deleted it.

I'm not trying to be an idiot, but I could have sworn there was another thread just like this recently but I can't find it for the life of me with filter.
I just remember the first response being qbn.com, haha. I think there were others...
- but... but, filter is the answer to everything734
- flavorful but then I would have missed designerstoolbox.com… :) that site rules for resources.Iggyboo
- Haha I meant to get more resources, not to timeline someone ... FOR ONCE!flavorful

For Jnr_M, it went a little like this....
Really though, really, the more I look, the less I see. A standout piece of work viewed on one person's site rapidly becomes part of the background fuzzlenoise when compared to all the other things on all the other designer/illustrator's sites that look almost identical, despite being for very different projects/clients.
Bottom Line: There really are 1000x too many people in this industry now.
or something.
- ...true.Jnr_Madison
- i had a similar rant in mind but it was almost identical and was certainly more fuzzlenoise than standout work734
- i agree... I don't know what is going on these days but something has to happend. But I don't know what...alla

As for that James Jean, pfff... derivative twaddle. Clearly spends WAY too much time on my website getting inspired. I may have to get password protection. He's turning my shiney into your fuzzle since 1904.

I guess we need a revolution or something.

I tell you what we need
1. We need that big fat global recession they keep promising. It'll go through this industry like paint stripper through a bunnyrabbit, and only the strong will survive. Then there'll be an abundance of work for the remaining few, and the education system wont be pumping four billion graduates into our industry every July becuase it will no longer be considered a lucrative career. Then the fees can go back up and we'll all be merry and bright.
2. We need to kill Apple. Apple have made it possible for every creative specialism that ever existed to be effortlessly replicated in Joe Public's bedroom with no skill and no funding required, just a modest computer and a software package. When Sculley ran Apple it was a specialist company providing high end specialist equipment at great cost to professionals. Now, we enjoy the wonderful benefits of the democratisation of creative artistry.
3. We need to hide our work, not show our work. Its become the Way Of Things that we have these websites showing what we do. It feels like its the only way to do it. We should have websites, but they should have closed doors on them. Invite only. They should be as special to visit as getting into a private view at an exclusive gallery. People should be hungering to see creative's work, not having it laid out for them pornographically, and emailed, and flyered, begging for attention, begging for work. Fuck that. The creatoive few need to make creativity a specialism again, and published work needs to retake the lead in promoting practitioners, not websites.
RANT. OVER.
SHUT MY FUCK UP.
