hello there, this exists to help my failing memory remember things I would want to remember a few years down the road.

I'm in a happy state of mind, had a good night at Sessions.

A bunch of design people, professional or not, gathered together to discuss everyone's fav issue, the issue of money. And ended off with the conclusion that - if you work just for money, you shouldn't be in this trade. People are fueled by passion, a love for this craft, and how your work is "an extension of yourself". (Makes it feel almost like social work! hahaha)

I just feel lucky to be in the creative industry, playing my little role.
Happy that these experienced people are paving a path for us to trek on and discover things on our own. Happy that they are so approachable and generous to share.

Random learnings: Don't ever lower the set price you've put to your work because it lowers yr value and worth as a designer/ Guestimation & Gut feeling are keys to quotation, LOL/ Charge according to the pain that the work brings you/ When client cannot fulfill XX cash quote from you, look for other modes of payment, so long as everyone is happy & respected/ When exciting briefs don't generate an image in yr head and tingles yr toes, you're jaded/ Evaluate carefully the creative value and the monetary value of a brief, it's different/ As Y would say: Sometimes, you got to do the things you don't like in order to do the things you like./ "Starving artist" shouldn't be the norm, we shall do good work that pays fine and live comfortably, maybe no lamborghini, yet still very happy!
