Do Designers Really Need a Blog?
I debated for nearly a year on whether or not I really needed a blog.
After all, I was focused on creating and wanted to spend the majority of my time and energy making things. If you're a designer, I'm sure you can totally relate.
But I Don't Wanna Blog!
Designers are different. While most people think that bloggers lead a glamorous lifestyle popping around town drinking a vanilla latté, laughing with their friends, and dabbling around on their beautiful Mac for a few hours a day... Designers understand how much work goes into it.
We get it. Designers spend hours in the office researching for photoshoots: trends, the right colors, which props are perfect yet fit the budget - down to every last detail!
We've lugged around a car full of crap, multiple changes of outfits, make up supplies, and soo many 'just-in-case' props, trying to snag the perfect location with the perfect model in the right lighting and so on. It's definitely fun, but it can also be grueling.
On top of that, designers are used to being behind-the-scenes with the photographer giving direction and making their vision come to life. We don't want to be the center of attention!
But we love to create and obviously we want the whole wide world to know about our work. So do we realllllly have to blog?
yes. Listen to the episode to find out why!
