The trouble I have been having is the inability to connect with advanced creatives that have been in the field for a long time since as a young designer, I more easily relate to other young designers so I've been having issues actually making connections that will lead to job opportunities and paying freelance work. Is there a way to approach creatives with vastly more experience then you, how do THEY find value in a young creative's work and perspective?

I believe clients are interested in the process we take to create an identity for them and if they aren't then you are working for the wrong types of people. What I got from this article is that your main goal as a designer is to just get clients, not to experiment and create high levels of design. I think this is the difference between design and advertising. Advertising tends to be much more fast pasted and about quantity and getting the final product out there quickly for the client. Designers take a step back and take in the whole picture to create the best solution possible. After reading this article, I was slightly offended as a designer.
