Em abril de 2014, Yevgeny Yermakov, deu início ao projeto “5 perguntas para 100 designers“. A ideia consiste em pequenas entrevistas, com profissionais já estabelecidos no mercado e visa ajudar os designers iniciantes, através da experiência e vivência desses profissionais. O ponto principal é responder de maneira rápida e objetiva às 5 perguntas, ou seja, a velha máxima do menos é mais ou o atual tldr.
Até o momento que escrevemos este post, o site conta com 50 designers, que responderam as mesmas 5 perguntas de maneira breve e objetiva. Ao final do projeto, Yevgeny terá 5000 respostas, de 100 designers, a maioria sendo profissionais de design gráfico.
As perguntas:
Fizemos uma seleção de algumas das respostas mais interessantes e caso você fique interessado em ler as entrevistas na íntegra, acesse o site.

What should a young designer do in order not to get hired by anybody?
Be a jerk. Refuse to do jobs that s/he thinks are beneath her/him. Rip people off. Be arrogant. You can be confident while also being humble and agreeable. No matter who we are, it’s just a fact that when we start out there’s lots of stuff we don’t know yet. You do, in fact, get a little wiser as you get older. No one likes an overly confident intern.

Are there any rules or habits that help you do your job more efficiently?
I prefer to work 7 days a week an equal amount (weekends a bit less) rather than 5 crazy long days. I also know that more than 8 hours of in front of a screen per day will make me depressed. I often work a full day at the studio (8 hours) and then go home and work a few more hours but not in front of a computer. I will make an object, work on my sketchbook, do some writing…

What difficulties did you face at the beginning of your career?
Working in a smaller market, I settled. Not a lot of great opportunity, so I worked at places that stunted my growth as a designer. There was no one to push me to do better. Surround yourself with people that are better than you and that push you to do more.
