Gillian,
YES! that’s exactly what I’m hoping for… something where I have to learn new things all the time… where things are different with every project and I’m constantly learning new things and working with new people… that sounds great! and I feel much better hearing from all these 'generalists"… you all are awesome!

Hi Max! i like your message of perseverence.
Was wondering what are these solid concepts you mention? Technical or theoretical?
Thanks!
When it comes to concepts relating to design, there are some things that I will not bend on. For example, I’ve actually had a client argue with me that their division colors (yellow and blue) should be used for the background and text. Yes, blue…text…on a yellow background. Well, instead of killing myself I spent some time explaining a little about color theory and he finally understood. It’s proven concepts like that I’m speaking about. Color theory, Fitts Law, etc. I think that there are much smarter people than me who have spent much more time figuring these concepts out over time and I do my best to fight for them on projects because I know they work.
thank you so much for giving me an example of what you were speaking of!
