This is why I have retired. I feel sorry for the younger audience who think they can make a living designing.

Even the choice of background which I did not specify is perfect.

Yesterday I watched someone build a portfolio of logo designs one after another that were incredibly handsome and elegant designs. And this person will probably be offering his/her/their design services on the internet and the joke of it is, he/she/they can offer consistency of design. For pennies on the dollar.

The professional world of creativity as we know it is over.
