I was looking around the Internet this dinnertime and I discovered two extremely interesting posts from Coroflot's Creative Seeds Blog.
The first post is about a designer's resilience, and a very interesting case study. Excerpt below:
"This brings attention to one of the most crucial traits a successful creative professional needs to have these days that hardly anyone talks about: resilience. The creative field is a brutal one, in which jobs are lost frequently, often without any correlation to competence. There's a crucial truth to creative employment that makes this happen; a truth that very few of us are comfortable acknowledging: our jobs are dispensable.
The Bemused Optimism of the Dispensable
The second post is an interview with Yang Kim, Vice President / Creative Director of People Design. The interview mainly centres around what Yang looks for in a potential employee.
"If they start asking about who they will be working for, what types of projects they would be working on, when will they get a project of their own to work on, or what will their title be, then we know that they might not have the right attitude.

What do you look for in a designer?
This is what we have been discussing in John's lessons. It's something i haven't really thought about as much as I should have. I came on this course to be an animator and learn flash + website skills.
My choice has really changed now as this course has had hardly anything to do with animation so far. Still unsure of the ideal role but I have a few in mind that I should think about more carefully.
