However, over the last several years, I've had a complete change of heart. I started feeling really overwhelmed when I would try to do any graphic design where I'd have to create all of my own resources. After working in the industry for several years, I realised that efficiency is gold and using pre-made resources (either paid for or free for us) is no big deal. The real creativity is in how you implement the use of these resources.
I suppose you could say that the older, younger me was far too prideful for my own good.

How do all of you feel about this topic? Do you use pre-made resources or do you try to make your own?
