Graphic design: the first 10 years (Angus MacPherson)

After graduating; more creative freedom
Don’t get too comfortable I’m not making design decisions yourselves
It’s dangerous getting too comfortable getting directed; there’s a safety in if you get something wrong you don’t get the blame
It’s not fulfilling creating stuff for other people/ their ideas
Make sure you’re making decisions yourself
The reality is that people do design that is less exciting; what people post on Instagram isn’t the reality
It’s important to move around and test out a few agencies
Make room for self initiated projects
Work with recruiters
My question: do you think it’s more important to have a specific style as a designer or is it better to be more versatile/ adaptable within the industry?
Answer: there isn’t a right designer as those are two different career paths. Sawdust studio had a really distinct look. Being more flexible as a designer has a bit more longevity as you’re more flexible, but if you have a clear vision stick to your style.
