    I would say that the mind-set is right to do GREAT things - I would take a look at the majority of the "big name" older designers out there, the majority of which didnt create anything worth a damn until about 5-10 years out of school. The internet has allowed the spread and democratization of design more so - so you're seeing more and more good work from younger and younger people, but take a look at the clients theyre doing this for... In a LOT of cases - THEY are the client - or perhaps, its their buddy's band, etc...

    Keep at it - don't lose the fire - stay hungry - and if you feel you've plateued somewhere, look to be somewhere else.

    • find a local non-profit... offer your services on the contingency that you have creative freedom... theyll go for itidentity
    • All great points.visual_infection
    • coming from a guy who, at times, feels like he's not doing enough, not getting recognition, not pushing myself...identity
    • it happens to everyone - don't get too hung up on it - direct the energy toward something creative! :-Didentity
