Brilliant Article Alexis. So good to read something like this that is so positive for digital designers. I can concur with most of what you have said. Hopefully it will get busier, busier and busier….

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated.
Liam, perhaps I wasn’t very clear. My point was more about how buoyant the market seems for digital creatives, rather than personal news.
I quit because after over 5 years in the same agency, and given the apparent demand for creatives, I felt it was time for a change.

Sorry if the point went over my head – but why did you resign?

Having actually lost my job due to this dam recession, and how easy it was to find/get work I have to totally agree with you on this one Mr Bou! There truly is a need for Designers and Developers alike…and long may it continue!

Great post Alexis – although I would say there seems to be a lack of even freelance mid/junior coders out there for some reason – everyone want to be a designer!

Great post Alexis. I have to say I agree completely and I think there’s a realisation brewing that it is an employee’s market, if you’re in the right field.
