    FFS, life is not a binary choice people:)

    I'll just add to what I said earlier - I doubt the small studio/ studio owner life will lead to quite as much "creative freedom" as you might expect. Small studios are as subject to the financial pressure as much as a big company, and that often means taking less than ideal jobs just to keep the lights on.

    But really - there's absolutely no reason a designer should struggle to get by at a smaller studio, especially an award-winning one. Graphic design isn't exactly like being a painter or a poet or something - we tend to get paid pretty decently if we're at all good at what we do:D So I would go for that option as long as you are able to support yourself, because it sounds like that's what you wanna do.
