Hi, I'm Jason, a graphic designer at a marketing agency. Here are the top 3 issues I face on the job, how I resolved them, and ways I balance stress outside of work:
-
Creative Blocks: As a graphic designer, I often experience creative blocks that can be frustrating. To resolve this issue, I make sure to take breaks, switch up my routine, and seek inspiration from other sources. To balance the stress of creative blocks, I engage in self-care activities like exercise, reading, and spending time in nature.
-
Tight Deadlines: Graphic designers often have to work under tight deadlines, which can be stressful. To resolve this issue, I prioritize time management, break tasks into smaller parts, and communicate with my team to ensure everyone is on the same page. To balance the stress of tight deadlines, I engage in self-care activities like meditation, yoga, and painting.
-
Criticism and Feedback: As a graphic designer, I often receive criticism and feedback from clients and colleagues. To resolve this issue, I learned to take feedback constructively, communicate clearly, and ask questions when needed. To balance the stress of criticism and feedback, I engage in self-care activities like spending time with loved ones, practicing mindfulness, and pursuing hobbies outside of work.
