This is great, and I think it can be more broadly applied to creative professions in general. I think a lot of the time creative jobs are undervalued, and seen as useless or easy or both – which is obviously untrue!
You are talented and your work should absolutely be respected!
I would appreciate anything that Diana churns out, because she is just that talented.
I also wish every client was presented with this wonderful apple story before they asked for a price quote from a designer. I really feel for you guys sometimes. Dealing with people is never easy and always stressful, and I fear that webdesigners get dealt the short end of the stick almost every time because clients for some reason really do believe ANYONE can design, which we all know is a crock of shit.
I love this! It really puts things into perspective. It’s true that we should respect anyone who is offering a service that we need and ask for, and it couldn’t have been put more perfectly than this.
Love this! So very true, especially in our industry. Web design is never simple, especially when clients get involved!

That’s a really great analogy. I never thought about it, but I guess fruit is a good catch-all example for just about anything in life. Hmmm…
It’s a shame creative professions run into such roadblocks when it comes to having time and skills valued just as much as those in other fields.
That is such a great way to look at it! Except now, I’d really like to have myself an apple. Preferably Royal Gala.
What a perfect analogy! I’m so envious of your double-threat talents of both web design and writing. Great post!

Hugs all around for you guys!
