Creatives on Contra have earned over $150M and we are just getting started
I feel like Contra is becoming the new LinkedIn but not for the good reasons. The discussions aren't about creativity as much as they are about selling services, everyone has to sell obviously, but we also need a space for us creatives where we discuss the craft, the difficulties, hiccups, day to day life of a designer/developer or even hiring managers and directors. Maybe that's just my algo at this moment.
We need to help the newcomers to this apocalyptic new world that we're ushering in. Okay, that's maybe too dystopian outlook on things from my side, but the juniors don't even know where to begin and there aren't that many nowadays and they are our saving grace, its the new gen of designers that will dictate how us (really hate calling myself old) oldsters are going to make our bread down the line. How do we, as more experienced designers, help the young ones? And no, they don't need a new course that's more than they can afford, I'm thinking of how do we help them create their own style and how to navigate the design industry. How do we open this discussion, how do we connect with the youngsters?
