Designers don't have a clear career development path. That's what surprised me when I was listening to this episode of Creative Confessions yesterday. I guess that's why improvise with design challenges, short courses, side projects, shiny objects. It might look a bit wonky from the outside by it's actually pure dedication in the absence of structure. This project 'Webheads' is an example of that. I created 105 above the fold designs for a range of fictitious businesses to flex my design muscles a bit and get better with colour, type and composition. We're dedicated to getting better, but totally self-motivated. I guess we're self-directed in a system that never gap us a map. What do you do to get better?
