Hear what Nidia taught me about designing world class idents, the struggles of being an art director and why careers in design need more visibility. tinyurl.com/2pyw2pjb #d #design #styleframes #freelance

“If you don't go to one of the big careers like being a lawyer, an engineer, or a doctor, you're like an outcast. But there's so much within design that you can do that they don’t tell you about.” -Nidia Dias #d #design #styleframes #freelance

“When I was beginning as an art director, I felt guilty showing the pieces on my website, because I was like, “I didn't touch that.” It took me a bit of time to learn that's what an art director does.”⁠ -Nidia Dias⁠ #d #design #styleframes #freelance

“The art director and the producer become the shield. If things are stressful, you don't want to take that to the team, right?" -Nidia Dias⁠ #d #design #styleframes #freelance

“I think some designers probably don’t understand that decisions may not be yours [as an art director]. So even if you really want to do something a specific way, the client can come in and be like, “that's a total no.” -Nidia Dias⁠ #d #design #styleframes #freelance

“I think if you do one talk, then you start getting asked to do alot more talks.” ⁠ -Nidia Dias⁠ #d #design #styleframes #freelance
