Hello there, I go by beckasso and I’m a art director and designer from Brazil. Looking forward to getting more connected with the online design community, specially in times like these. Perhaps to keep it less boring I’ll just throw a random question here. How does your work represent your life phi…

[image] beckasso: How does your work represent your life philosophy? Interesting question. One of my beliefs is that I should love and care for my family to the best of my ability. So my work allows me to feed, clothe, shelter, and provide for the needs of my family, Or you could say that m…

My life philosophy is that I make loads of money without lifting a finger. My work does not reflect that.

That’s very interesting and I totally see what you mean. As I’ve gotten deeper into the whole lifestyle design mentality, I contemplated more and more how my works tells a story and that I get to choose what story is being told (or at least, be conscious about it). Why should a cliente hire me inst…

Sounds more like a goal, haha. But I feel you!

I’m with Steve-O on the idea that you cannot interject your personal, let’s call it, style, into a client’s project. Especially where it’s not appropriate. Commercial art is a product.

Yes, I see what you mean. I think it’s less about picking just what work fits you and more about why the work you do is the way that it is. For instance, my process usually includes a more experimental approach, I believe in focusing more on implementing new methods in my creative process to achieve…

Welcome to the forum Beckasso. Your first post is very thought-provoking. I don’t really have a life philosophy. I don’t think I’ve ever considered such a thing. I approach design projects from the viewpoint of addressing whatever problems clients might have that caused them to hire me. I don’t vi…

Ah, maybe I’m misunderstanding the question. I guess then the answer is yeah, the work I do pretty much reflects my life philosophy, which is pretty much “live and let live.”

In truth I do not have a life philosophy. I ended in the design field because I thought I was rather good at it, and it did not involve lifting heavy boxes. The number one purpose is to put food on the table. Number two, no screw-ups. Number three, make good work and enjoy it. As for a personal sta…

Olá and welcome to the forum! Good question. There are clearly very differing approaches in answering this one. I’ll weigh in. I like to think that I live with a “keep the main thing the main thing” mentality. I try to focus on, learn about, and share the things in life that are most important. For…
