STEP ON IN THE GRAPHIC DESIGN WORLD!

18th July, 2012 by Sarah Stephenson

At the moment I feel like I’m being step on by high-up graphic designers in the field and it makes me feel less professional here. It makes me feel like I’m unwanted and should be pushed aside without a thought! What should I do here?

Hi Sarah,

Firstly there are no 'high up' graphic designers—or any other type of people for that matter. As humans we are all equal. We all need the same basic elements to stay alive, we all bleed the same colour blood and we all eventually die.
Why do you feel unwanted and pushed aside?
What do you mean by 'what should I do here'?

If you can explain your concerns in a bit more detail maybe I can help point you in the right direction.

hi Sarah,i have to say frank is right,there are no high or low,we are all the same blood,many have made it,and many more coming through the system as we speak,i am a freelance graphic designer ,im just completing my diploma in commercial design who is new and fresh,i have only started my company this year,its slow cause i am new but i am building it from the ground up and i not worried about what others think,in time i will be a full professional so just allow things to work it self on its own and don't worry about the negativity out their because that happens in all professional careers.
cheers

What I mean about be ‘push aside’ is my clients say ‘no at the moment to meet up’ or ‘next week we might be available’ (then they change they're minds). That stuff drags on for months & months?!
