So where you lot hiding? And what are you doing currently? Going to Uni? Freelancing? Employed? Lets get a discussion going!
Now I'm gonna make a few people upset with this but, no I am not talking about the 12-15 year olds who can use photoshop. I am sorry but you have no experience with the industry, I was like you too once but I never called myself a designer I just kept working on getting better. I am specifically talking about 18+ designers/illustrators who have either gone through college (UK, for the US that would be 16-18) or university or who have been in the field for a while. Now, I've met a few freelancers on here but never seen more than 2 at once! Are we few and far between or are we keeping ourselves to ourselves?
(Yes I know you have been designing for 500 years since you were age -488 but you're still 12 and almost everyone else has more experience and insight than you, I am sorry but this is for big boys.)
