I'm with you on that. I seriously hate the term "creatives", I've only seen it used in a derogatory way (either by or against). I just can't take anyone seriously when they use that word to describe themselves or their clients.

Could also be a trigger for me, I word with a lot of designers, artists, and videos guys/gals. Most are pretty good, but all the ones that call themselves "a creative" are guaranteed to be pretty elitist about it.



What would be a better word? "Creative professionals" comes to mind, but then that seems to exclude hobbyists, who could still derive a lot of value from a program like this.


Designers design. Artists create art.

Almost every job requires creativity.
