It seems that everywhere I go nowadays I meet another budding graphic design major. With all of these buds, I fear not being able to blossom enough to stand out and make my mark on the industry. As I stumble through the internet I see beautiful, amazing purely inspired works and it scares me. I see my intended field flooding and i see myself drowning.
Don't get me wrong, I am very competent at what I do, I just lack the confidence to put my work and opinions out there. I lack that competitive edge that I see increasing all around me. When I was growing up, I was told the fewer waves you make, the farther you will get in life; opinions cause controversy - listen, think, and keep it to yourself.
I no longer have the luxury of keeping to myself and trying to blend into the background.My field simply won't allow it. People aren't just going to stop me on the street and hand me everything I want from life (although you are more than welcome to). I intend to earn my place in the graphic design world. It may not be next month or even next year, but I will keep fighting. It's all we can do really.
