Don’t Accept Doing Anything But Your Best
Now this may seem vulagrly blatent, but I have been mulling over past jobs the last few days. I realised that I did myself no favours by being constantly belevonant. When I was asked to “Complete a design in 2 days” or such, I would say jump at the oppurtunity to prove myself or to try and help out in any way I can. Now I realised, by rushing the design work, my performance was lackluster and the results were not of that I was proud of. I was proud that I got the work out, but it was forgettable and obviously, you don’t ever want your work to ever be forgettable.
If your boss ever says “Can you do me a design in 3 days”, mostly I think the correct answer should be “No”, unless it’s a once off request. To be utilised as an average designer, will earn you that position and make you despensable, leaving little reward. It’s a mistake I shall try not to make again in the future, to only put out my best work and not accept putting out anything but that.
