New showreel time! 15 Project squeezed into 36 seconds. I didn't update it last year, so there are plenty of highlights to stuff in.
Motion graphics, live scribing, illustration, branding and WordPress development. Often, but not always, served with a side order of light-hearted humour.
That's a few different things for one person to do, isn't it? Well, not really. I started my business back in 2010 after ten years in agencies, and the backbone of my approach was to go where the work is, explore niches and always be learning new things.
I did hear this when I first started, however, the full qoute is "Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than a master of one."
It can take years to build up a diverse skill set; it doesn't happen overnight, but I think it's important to cultivate right now in the creative space. I believe it's important to experiment and take risks to discover new skills adjacent to those you already have.
And it's not just me. While working on the new showreel, this article dropped on Creative Boom from Tom May about the 'creative generalist'. I couldn't agree more.
