@0x_Mattt @Seanfrank What? $200k is not common at all. 5-7% of individual American's and about 2% of Canadians make $200k or more. All of these numbers are from government statistics.

Social media content bragging about these high salaries are all fake man.

[Warren Keefe @warrenkeefe]

@0x_Mattt @Seanfrank ~7% of North American's work in tech. Less than 50% are "experienced" (5+yrs), senior level is about 10%.

$400k salary is definitely top 1% in tech let alone in all other industries. Huge amount of money.

Twitter talk isn't reality when looking at real stats unfortunately.

@maxescu Putting yourself in an artificial, digital world vs taking an actual photo/video in the real world...that's the saddest lens there is man.

Every time I build a new work proposal I take a step back think, goddam I've made a lot of artwork in my career so far.

Someday I would love to build a continuously scrolling website with as much of my work as I can gather. Would be so cool to see it all as a digital collection.

First the brand work and now some social content for Standard Issue Cannabis.

Feels great to dust off the drawing tools.

Just added a 3rd client where I'm doing design work for the upcoming World Cup.

The work just keeps stacking 🫠

[Warren Keefe @warrenkeefe]

New client website launched today, a new identity built from the ground up.

@itskasturiii When they're chronically online and always posting quick, made up projects for themselves, they don't have full-time work. It's the popular designers-on-Twitter methodology.

@avstorm There's 1000 master carpenters who do this kind of thing all the time. You take away the LoveFrom name from this piece and it wouldn't get any news.

And yes they ruined that poor Ferrari's interior.

@Shutterstock how are you going to charge my 1-person design business $8k CAD for an annual business subscription? If I wasn't incorporated it's 1/4 of that price. Same business, single seat, only difference is LLC documents.

[Warren Keefe @warrenkeefe]

@moninvestor Excited to see where they land by 2030 or beyond. Sitting on 5k shares and building monthly!

@Joshua_Ariza I'm a big fan of the "which is better A or B" and it's a 10% grey difference on a rectangle and 4% difference in line height and the comments go off, lol

[Warren Keefe @warrenkeefe]

@stuctaylor @Joshua_Ariza Same situation with my timeline, bunch of posts of a bland rectangle with a shadow or a "brand guide" with only hex codes calling themselves a designer.

[Warren Keefe @warrenkeefe]

@pizzaboy This is killer, all it takes is time and a few big clients to be able to charge big bucks.

I average about the same as a solo designer and don't do anything revolutionary. Just a ton of work, increasingly bigger budgets but in it for 18yrs now.

[Warren Keefe @warrenkeefe]

@HBO @hbomax They need to be showing docs like this in theatres, too good!

[Warren Keefe @warrenkeefe]

One the most extensive branding projects I've done in the past few years. From branding to website, internal docs and templates, social media art direction, motion graphics, merch, office branding, vehicle wraps, even UI for a interactive video game.

@sekhsoyebali @framer Not Framer but easy enough for my dev team to custom build on Wordpress; https://t.co/P9cCkjhUls

@HikingSchweiz Beautiful at sunrise too, from the rooftop of the Hoxton Hotel.

No one loves AI more than failed creatives with absolutely no skills or work ethic.
