Graphic designers are being fed some seriously BAD advice. And the worst part? Most of it sounds pretty damn good.Charge what you're worth. Follow your passion. Niche down. Never work for free. The client is always right.Somewhere along the way, graphic designers stopped questioning these so-called golden rules and started treating them like facts. But advice that works for one designer could be a complete disaster for another.And just because some big-name designer, YouTube expert, or Instagram influencer says it doesn't make it right.This week on The Angry Designer Podcast, Massimo and Shawn are calling BS on the popular design advice that's been passed around our industry for years.In this episode, you'll discover- Why some of the most respected design advice can actually work AGAINST you- Which popular design rules deserve to be questioned, and when breaking them makes more sense- How to stop taking advice at face value and start making decisions that actually work for YOUWe're talking money, clients, niching, spec work, creative freedom, and all the other things designers are constantly told they MUST do to succeed.Because the problem isn't always the advice. It's believing that one piece of advice applies to EVERY graphic designer.Support This Episodes Sponsor.
