Now, I am the first to admit I am not the most wonderful designer in the world. I have been practicing since 2012 and have an honours diploma in Creative Digital Media - so there's been a time, energy, and financial investment in this path. Anyways - today I received a rather unwarranted message about how I am not a real designer (in this case for web, but I do graphic and print) because I had the nerve to use stock photos, my text was "template-esque" (I did write it, I just happen to be a writer) and they met an unfinished page (do remember this is my own website) with sheer horror.
My skin isn't as tough as it should be - I know it shouldn't matter - but have you ever had people contact just to attack you? How did you feel about it? So discouraging! I always try to encourage designers, etc. Yes the page was unfinished - but I was getting to it.
Great design resource
