The blog of Designing Sound is surely one of the best resources on the net at the moment for any aspiring sound designer. It has excellent content and every post is worth a read.
Of course there is so much over there that I could highlight, but I feel that the subject on not burning out, when work gets too much, is a topic quite close to my heart. I’m the sort of person who spreads myself incredibly thin sometimes – not just with sound related stuff but with all the other projects I do with Expressive Technique. I know exactly what it’s like to have a project deadline coming up and I seem to just work myself to utter destruction. A lot of the time, the people around me don’t even get a look in… and I’m sure my girlfriend has a lot to say about this too.
It’s a good little article that doesn’t just apply to sound stuff. So take a read here.
