Recently sent to design students:<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re receiving this email, you have sent me information regarding your third assignment, but what you\u2019ve sent is not what I\u2019ve asked for.<\/p>\n
When I was just out of school and had a burgeoning illustration career, I made a terrible mistake: I gave an art director what he didn\u2019t ask for, thinking that he was getting better<\/b> than what he\u2019d asked for. I re-did the assignment, but word got around, and I never got another assignment in that industry. It may have been a good thing for me in the long run, but it was a difficult lesson to learn.<\/p>\n
So please look carefully at the assignment brief\u00a0and consider that if you do not pay attention to details, you may slide through school, but your career as a designer will be a short and\/or unhappy one!<\/p>\n
