Thank You Designers

I want to send a huge THANK YOU to all the designers who responded to my yelp for help in my recent post Tomorrow is Not Always an Option.  You are an amazing group of people.  Despite heavy deadlines, and grueling workloads many of you took the time to write me emails offering your hand and shoulder for support. The design industry is a competitive place but it's also filled with compassionate and caring people who demonstrate that they aren't above lending a hand to a fellow designer. Eric Karjaluoto of smashLAB wrote a very helpful comment and offered some great practical advice. Some like Veerle Pieters and Cat Morley of BODO even posted their own blogs with companion articles. Veerle wrote eloquently her thoughts about how "Deadlines Kill Inspiration" and Cat at BODO offered suggestions for dealing with the on slot of deadline madness in her post titled Business Choices: The Next Level. I'd also like to acknowledge the readers of Veerle's Blog and BODO who wrote insightful, and sometimes fun, comments on this topic. Thank you all.

Lisa, thanks for the thanks!
(and what a sweet thing to do :-)

I agree, our industry is competitive. But, just peek into design forums and you'll see designers helping out designers. And now it's the same with blogs. Nice.
