Graphic Design Inspiration

As a freelance graphic designer, you have no idea who you will run into and who may cause an impact in your life. I had that experience yesterday while I was at the gym! I was doing my daily workout session and came across a man that was a graphic designer as well. The first thing he said was that he loved it. The man had been a graphic designer for twenty years and now is teaching it at an art and design school called Nossi College of Art. For me, I was blown away just from hearing that he did it for so long.  If you don't love what you are doing for twenty years then you will be miserable. He sounded so enthusiastic when he said that he loved graphic design too.

I have only been doing freelance graphic design work for about a year and a half, but twenty years is pretty good experience if you ask me. I know he had to have a ton of references and thousands of designs. That really inspired me that this kind of work is awesome. I mean this guy has been doing it for twenty years and still is passionate about it and teaching others what he has learned. To me, I look at it like this, if you went around the world, then you would try to share that experience with someone right? It's the same as careers because after you do it for so long you should be willing to help people who are just opening the door for the first time. Hopefully in nineteen years I'll be able to tell someone, who is just starting, the same thing.
