The CC Publications Team is looking for some scary stories...

What is the worst thing (professionally speaking) that has happened to you as a designer? Have you ever had a bad internship/ work experience? A client who can't make up their mind? A contract gone wrong? An embarrassing moment during an interview? A file lost by the printers the day it was supposed to be delivered?

We are collecting the bad experiences in design from students and professionals of all ages and experience levels. We will select and publish the most bone-chilling ones in the CC Newsletter, which will come out at the end of the year. We will be happy to omit any names and details of sensitive issues, we just want the experiences...

Why horror stories? Our hope is to show that bad things happen to everyone, no matter what the level of professional maturity. You should not let these bad experiences discourage you-- instead, you can learn from these ordeals and grow as a designer and as a businessperson.

Or, if you have any questions/ suggestions/ concerns about issues that scare you about life after Pratt (finding a job, etc.), send those our way too- we'll try to find some solutions!

Please note that the deadline for submissions is November 20th, so don't delay!!!

You may email either member of the CC Publications Team with your submissions:
