Stoked to be a designer

Being a graphic designer is a fantastic, rewarding career. You get to make stuff with no manual labor and you have the joy of being creative and gaining respect. I love my job.

However, I'd like to use this blog as a means of enlightenment. Being a graphic designer is not like my college professors made it out to be. Granted, a few classmates (like 4) are living that life, but more on that later.

I've been out of school for 5+ years as of this post. I've had my ups and downs.

I would never want to discourage anyone from the career. Like I said, it's genuinely great! But I want to provide a more realistic look at what graphic design is ACTUALLY LIKE to most people.

I'd also like to offer critiques of graphic design. I would like to examine corporate logos and design packages. I will even make an effort to offer up some of my own work (edited so that I don't have any run-ins). Please feel free to offer feedback and your own opinions! I would love to hear you, too!

So buckle in, hit follow, and enjoy.
