The first thing I thought about when I saw this poster was yes, yes it does!.

This poster is part of a series of Inspirational Design Posters by graphic designer and illustrator Frank Chimero. He created the series specifically for designers in an attempt to provide a spark of inspiration.

Chimero writes:

The topics range from various truisms I’ve discovered about the field in the past few years to snarky tongue-in-cheek comments. I think we designers spend an awful lot of time talking to ourselves, and I consider this my contribution to the monologue.

Here’s another one of my favorites from the set.

You can see the connection here. This stuff applies to pretty much anyone in a creative profession, including photographers.

I’ve mentioned before that being hired for your style and unique vision is one of the best things that can happen to you as a creative person. When you’re allowed (by yourself or others) to be as creative as possible (which, granted, doesn’t happen all the time) and you realize that following your vision pays off, there is indeed nothing stopping you from doing and getting the type of work you want to do. These posters are just a beautiful reminder of that fact.
