"Real world" design

Very frustrating last couple of weeks, I've learnt now what it is to be a designer in the "real world".  I have just finished working for 6 weeks on a project for the Daily Mail, an insert for the company I work for.  Only to have it complete with sign-off to be told it isn't going ahead and the whole 6 weeks were for nothing!

I know its going to be a fact of life throughout my career but it is sole destroying!  But I learnt a lot from it; how newspapers work, how they don't work and how temperamental these businesses can be!

Oh well, onwards and upwards onto my next piece of work for the Telegraph to be in on the 6th June, a simple insert with clean lines, nice images and lots of style sheets! I can't wait!!
