RE: Corporate Cogs

in #art7 years ago

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. Ironically, I worked in the creative department of said corporation, but they were so restrictive when it came to forward-thinking ideas. As an artist, I like to advance my skills and grow as a designer, but this company was so behind the times, they they prefer to keep dead trends on life support instead of having the finger on the pulse of newer ones.

Sort:  

Hmm. Corporations only really appreciate creativity when it comes to accountancy and paying tax. Maybe that's a little too black and white, but they seem unlikely to take the kind of risks that any self-respecting artist will want to take.

What's the plan, post corporation life? There are a lot of hungry artists, as I am sure you are all too aware...

So true. 90% of my ideas were always rejected. When you deal with that type of restriction, you feel trapped and unwanted. My plan these days, is to just find a company that will nurture my creativity and conducive to my interests.

Are you not tempted to go it alone?

Ive thought about it, but at the same time, I need some type of stability.

And there's the rub. Bills to pay!
