Every Tuesday at 8:45, we have our AI tea/coffee moment. Together with two other designers, we catch up on developments in our field, share tips on how our workflows are changing due to AI, and discuss the future of our profession.
As long as I keep getting panic calls like, “Help, I made something in Canva, but the printer can’t print it,” I know my technical knowledge is still very much needed to save the day. I don’t just create pretty visuals; I also know what makes a file technically ready for print.
Back to our little AI group. We were brainstorming next steps, and I mentioned that I’ve been thinking about building a team to support an author from start to finish. Think of an editor, a designer, an illustrator, a printer, a marketer, and a social media expert.
The ladies love the idea.
But then the doubt creeps in.
Because… like this week’s topic: who can you trust? Who works the same way you do?
I’ve tried collaborating with others before. And somehow, it always fell apart. Which is a shame, because together, you’re so much stronger than on your own.
But yeah… trust.
That’s still a tricky one.
