Interesting surprise from Studio Culture Now*: most graphic design studios were much less bothered by losing their physical studios during COVID than I’d expect (or, in many cases, than they’d expect!).

One common “cheat”: a number of these studios comprise a married couple (and sometimes an employee or two), with the studio in their home. These folks got to avoid losting their physical studios. But their other responses suggest the pandemic didn’t go especially better for them.

In general, graphic design agency work sounds super brutal—even more so than I’d expected! I feel for these folks.

Professional creative work is brutal in general. Too much ambition. too much work. Too little time. And a lot of constrains to optimize for.
