Meh. Not bad but not great.

For me, I found that the real estate companies here could give a rats ass about strategy or anything remotely close to well thought design, or even just something that looks good for the most part. Most the design companies just bend over for the developers because they know there are 5 more design companies who want the work.
It's all about money, has nothing to do with the creative. I was told many times by my "CD" to stop thinking about and just make something that looks decent.
I still remember the day I got a "brief" which was from the client of all people and it literally said "use a sans serif font, 30 or more pages". Uhm yeah, no thanks.
- I've been sort of fortunate for the most part. I've discovered and honed a love for designing interiors and pathing, It's allowed me to create 2D and 3D design.Melanie

- Sales centres were about the only thing I enjoyed, only because it was something new for me.2cents
- But with that said, so many good ides killed because of budget. I also find a lot around here look the same.2cents

Maybe designers just burn out? How many designers out there are over 40?

Flip through a real estate weekly here and every ad looks the same.

You experience good budgets Melanie? I can't say I did, it was always about cutting corners to make a profit.
We were doing complete developments for anywhere from 60-80k. That included: logo, brochure, sales centre, ads, dm, and sometimes web. I can't see how anyone can make a profit with numbers like that.

I think there WILL be a lot of designers over 40...we're just not there yet because the profession is so new (interactive design anyway).
