What would the world be without a little competition? There's nothing like some fresh blood to keep you on your toes and however long you've been doing the job, there's always something new you can learn, whether it’s a new approach or a new technique or even a new shortcut in the design software you weren't aware of.
The fact is, two heads are always better than one and if you can surround yourself with creatives then all will be well. Instead of working head to head, why not try some collaboration and learn something new?
Learning from others
When I was just starting out and working from my little living room desk, I knew I needed to get into some shared office space to keep the creative juices flowing and the competition in my eyeline. Mostly to have some like-minded people to bounce some ideas off but also to learn anything I could.
That’s exactly what I did and not only did I learn a great deal about what could be achieved but I also learnt about dealing with clients and other everyday necessities. It was the best thing I ever did. Not only that but employing some fresh young freelancers has given me a push to improve my skills and get up to date with the latest tech.
Never stop reading about what’s going in the world and what people are doing: it could inspire you to create something that you never knew you could. A quick dose in the mornings from websites like this might be all you need to have the most creative day you’ve ever had.
