This year is my ten year anniversary. I've been working full time as a graphic designer for ten years.
I'd like to talk to other people in this industry who've been working for exactly ten years this year. Designers, art directors, copy writers, account managers, planners, all of you. If that's you or if you know someone who fits the bill then drop me a line ben at thedesignconspiracy dot com.
Thanks.
Well, happy anniversary - and in Helvetica as well, I see.
Sorry though, Mate - I'd have to wind the clock back an awful long time to match that particular milestone. Though I can tell you that it doesn't get easier.

Aluminum by any chance? Congrats on 10 years and not being bitter and twisted. I've a few more to go myself.

Happy anniversary! I'm only six...
I wonder what's the most important thing you've learned in those ten years?
