In today's world, are we trying at least to make a better world or trying to express what's happening today...bring in solutions/ideas to make it better...or are we just in it for the $$.

My only goal as a designer is to ruin peoples' lives through the power of advertising so they keep chasing shit they don't need.

i'm in it for the cash and cuz I love it... and it seems like a way for someone labeled an 'artist' to make cash doing what they enjoy.

In many cases we've been placed in the back seat with the client driving the new porsche, then we just smile and wave when they drop us off at the bus station, where we wince at the site of the latest transit ads we've 'designed'...

I'm always broke so it can't be the cash. I like to think Designers are constantly chipping away at the crap of the world. Sometimes I think the pile of crap maybe too big though...

"Everybody in advertising is blond, beautiful, families are happy, cars are never in traffic, everything is shiny, food looks like it's incredibly tasteful. I ask myself, "how stupid are we? How come the world is going in one direction and advertising is going in a completely different direction?"

it keeps me out of the house and puts me in an environment of being surrounded by other creatives which in turn show me a way i may not have thought of myself.
plus i work in a high fashion environment and the women are oh so sexy!!!

no one gets into design for the $ - go and be an esate agent or recuitment guy for that

yeah, if you are after $, you should be in finance/trading. there, you can make $1-2mil/yr if you are good. if you are really good, you can make $30-40mil.

I do it for the money and because I can wear jeans and a tshirt to work rather than a suit and tie.
I never grew up dreaming of being and artist or designer and to be honest, if something I thought I'd enjoy came along at better money, I'd not be sitting behind a computer but it hasn't. yet.
