you ever finish that job and look at it and are just like 'that could have been better' but it was like an illustration / painting and doing it better means starting from scratch and you already spent way too much time on it already and have too much work breathing down your neck to justify doing better just for the sake of it? So then you just hope the client likes it but then you don't hear back from them right away and you start wondering if maybe they see it too and then you start stressing cuz the deadline is too soon and you have 10 more jobs to do but you cant stop thinking about it and it's driving you crazy so you end up watching fucking game show bloopers on youtube to take your mind off it and you start feeling like you actually have zero talent to begin with?
Has that ever happen to you?

Yes! Fuck I feel like a nervous wreck half the time. Though I've also read and come across a lot of talented people like this -- apparently Spielberg still feels sick before arriving on set. I think if shits too easy and you feel like you're always "nailing it" then something is not right... maybe...

I reckon it's part of the curse of being creative.
If you were constantly blinded by your own brilliance then you'd be destined for account management or being Skrillex and people would really fucking hate you.

I work as a graphic designer in the film industry. I can't watch the films I worked on for this exact reason. Drives me crazy !

Ironically, I find the projects I wring by hands the most over, waiting for client input, end up going well, and the ones I am confident of, have the most issues.
But really, when you are not sure and are waiting for that client response, minutes go by like hours.

The solution to this is to know what your best is and strive to do better. Thats all you can do.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.

EVERY time. The rest of the world sees that it's 99% perfect. You see incomplete and feel like a fraud.
