Advertising

Designer

I feel like I will never be more than a deck designer. I’ve been in advertising for 9 years as a designer and studio production artist, trying to be promoted to an art director. I’ve had some small projects at my agency, but always on top of my designer workload. I have worked at WK and many other well known agencies, but I’m over 30, and wondering if I should give up and go to grad school for something else. It’s disheartening.
