Don’t Do TOO Good Of A Job!
Maybe this is happened to you. You’ve really nailed a project. You skip out of the client’s with a big smile because you’ve done the best work you have ever done. Months down the line, you haven’t heard a thing from the client and your emails are either not returned or they have cool salutations and don’t answer your question of when there might be another project.

Adobe's Muse Lets Designers Make Websites Without Knowing Code | Co. Design
Adobe makes programs like InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, which enable nearly every graphic designer on the planet to create nearly every piece of visual content you've ever laid your eyes on. Naturally, their bread and butter is making graphic designers happy. So their newest product, Muse, hopes to make life even easier for designers--specifically ones working in more traditional mediums who are being tapped to take on more web-based projects--as an ultra-simplified, graphically focused tool for making websites. Muse's biggest selling point is that designers don't have to learn code (or "markup languages") like HTML, CSS, or Javascript to break through the barrier of designing for the Internet. As Muse's engineering director, Joe Shankar, says in the introductory video, "We're going to change the way websites are built for graphic designers." For some design firms, learning code isn't a bonus, it's a requirement. [Top image: A still from the video for Radiohead's House of Cards]
