The 50, a list of 50 things every graphic design student should know on leaving college, was created by Jamie Wieck from speaking to his friends and colleagues. The list has been now extended to The 100 for others to share and add their tips and tricks by sending your Twitter suggestions to @_the100. To read all twitted tips go to #the50 or #the100.
Just couple of my favourite:
28. Never work for free.
Not only does this devalue the profession, but it makes you look weak. Even a ‘nice’ client will take advantage of this.
45. Be an auteur.
Regardless of who you’re working with, speak up if something’s not right. Take it upon yourself to be the barometer of quality.
