@Dr Archana Rane -

If you do not promote yourself, you are not helping the world.

That is an interesting way of regarding it and very true.

@Fallan Griffith -

“It takes your whole life to do the job”

Wow, that is such a profound statement for me. And so true. When you hire a designer who makes it look easy, you forget that he or she has spent their whole life to get there.

Hi, Fallan. I think this is the case for any intellectual job. People don’t seem to regard knowledge and study as an asset. It is good not to see knowledge that way most of the time, but is good to keep that in mind when people bargain your work because you have become good enough to do it quicly.

It’s true. Often the difference between two equally talented artists is promotion. I know of some incredible local rock bands who will never go anywhere because they don’t take the time to promote themselves.

As I said in other places, “Of course you have to worry about the bottom line. Otherwise where will you stand while you’re creating?”
