I remodeled my house in San Francisco a couple of years ago, and built my Ultimate Home Office there as part of it -- that was Sprout until recently. We only finally finished the move to Boston a few days ago, so nothing's been established yet. We're back in my old neighborhood--Central Square--which is kind of a design ghetto: you can throw a baseball from here and hit about a dozen designers, so it's a good spot to set up.
I have a couple of freelancers that I work with frequently, and might build Sprout up into a larger consultancy some day, but there's no real hurry. You're running this studio and working as chief creative designer for Clio? Yeah, Clio alone is 40 or 50 hours a week.
I don't really sleep. Tell me more about working on royalty. If you're a young designer, you have to undersell yourself a little in order to get work in the first place, like "I'll do this for 50 dollars an hour, but you have to guarantee at least this many hours."
And yeah, go ahead and do that, but ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
