Here's another Emo-Thread ; ) I am looking at some Designers these days for giving them the chance, to work on some of our Projects. From my Background, i've started as a Typesetter in 1996 and became a Designer all by myself. Today, i saw the Portfolios of some Designers from the local Art School. holy Fuck! I've seen amazing fresh work, where my work looks like a "dad bike" in comparsion. That made me think... damn... am i talented? Am i old fashioned? Do i SUCK that hard? I know most of you had that before. Now, how do you deal with that?

Don't worry, clients will make their amazing fresh work look like poo in no time. So cheer up :)

Also what is a "dad bike" I'm not familiar with this reference.

Is it the first time you feel this Pascal?? If yes, no problem, take a breath and look around and rethink the things previous to going to design, drink from new sources...
If not, and if you feel it´s a going down curve, mate, np, you´re only getting old

Think the Tiger (Woods) put it well when he said:
"I view my life in a way ... I'll explain it to you, OK? The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today. And that's how I look at my life. I will be better as a golfer, I will be better as a person, I will be better as a father, I will be a better husband, I will be better as a friend. That's the beauty of tomorrow. There is no such thing as a setback. The lessons I learn today I will apply tomorrow, and I will be better."

don't worry. it's student work. most of their stuff is probably ripped off anyways.

it was just like WHAM in my face this morning.... like OBBTKN said, it's more so that i am becoming old and "mild" - and i do have the ability to fulfill my clients need. but i can feel now, that i will change into consulting and conception in the future, which is nice too
