There are moments in every designer's career where we question our skills. (Yes, even Advergirl has those moments. And they aren't pretty.) Days—or weeks—when we we're off our game, we don't feel passionate, we feel less that thrilled with the work we've been churning out for clients that request illogical revisions that meet moot goals. We all have those days when someone reminds us that our work is not as good as it should be, or could be, or as good as we wanted it to be.
Those are learning moments. Days, not to be taken lightly, where we must step back and analyze the true value of what we do—the value of it for our clients, our employers, and the value to ourselves. And figure out how to do better. How to be better. How to keep creating despite doubt, so that the fruits of tomorrow have at least a shot at being sweet.
The next project—big or small—could be amazing. And you can't know unless you try.
