@ashleyabaco: creatives aren't "too sensitive." y'all just conveniently forgot the abuse that raised us. let's talk about it: creative burnout isn't a personality flaw, it's a pattern. you start out drawing flowers for fun. next thing you know somebody's asking "how are you gonna get a JOB off that?" (nobody asked, sir) then it's art school critiques breaking you down "for your own good." then it's stakeholders telling you green isn't "on brand" like you personally offended their family crest. critique isn't the enemy. i wouldn't be the designer i am without it. but there's a difference between growth and just recycling the same creative industry hazing because nobody healed from it themselves. if you've ever internalized somebody else's bad day as your own creative failure - this one's for you. if you're building a brand (or a career) and you're tired of confusing "surviving critique" with "having good taste," comment 608 and i'll send you the inside look at how the studio actually protects your creative process - no hazing required. #branding #creativeburnout #graphicdesignersoftiktok #artschoolproblems #creativedirector
