About this video

Description

Dominic is over design. Done. Well, actually, he is not over design. But he is over the people who often come with design. The craft of graphic design is the heart of our profession, but the real art of our business is the ability to manage our anxieties while also managing various types of people. Dominic will use stories from his years in the industry to highlight the ways he has contended with stupid requests, pampered enormous egos and stick handled the ludicrous ideas that come from the wildly unpredictable personalities that surround us everyday.
