Ask DN: Ever feel like your old work is an embarrassment? (studiofellow.com)

    Love this piece by Jarrod Drysdale.

    Our old work often embarrasses us. It feels ugly. I love his response:

    We tend to fetishize our current work and pretend it’s so much better now. But the design you’re excited about right now is headed for the same landfill before long. And that’s a shame, because our Old Loves got us to where we are now. Our current projects are giving us the practice we need to become even better designers in the future.

      Thanks for posting my article. I see this negative reaction so much amongst designers and couldn't help writing about it.
