Last week, I attended the American Advertising Federation’s Student Day in Sioux Falls, where my portfolio was reviewed, I met with design and media industry professionals, and attended panels describing how different positions operate within a media team.

One piece of advice I was given was that if someone doesn’t like my design, it doesn’t mean it is a bad design – it just might not be the mood or vision the client was looking for. Everyone has different tastes and different ideas on how to do things. Don’t be discouraged! It might be exactly what someone else is looking for.
