Two weeks ago I was hired as designer for a sport shoes factory, with the goal of having more exclusive products -or that's what I thought.
My first day was like back to school, where I was trained to use some drawing software. I understood it was going to be a challenge and a chance to improve, and to success, to develop my habilities as designer, cause as some of you may have read, I am not a graphic designer, but environment. It is tough, starting to design something you don't know that close...

My first designs were difficult, I hand't any notion, but tried my best. It is hard that any drawer -non designer- comes with you and tell what to do right, no matter trends, no matter composition, only "what I'd do is...", "have you already seen what this or that successfull brand is selling?", "you can whatch what others are doinr and change some things"

It is bothering, sometimes I feel trapped, but I do not steal, I am working to do my own designs, sometimes they are not aproved, but we work to improve them. I must be rigid on my non-copy-paste position, and start making a chance... I only know this is going to be for a while, better things I have in mind for me.

I want to clarify that I am not complaining, but sharing an experience I am living at the time.
