Got called out for using too much black at a Portland design review

A mentor straight up told me my portfolio looked like a 'goth funeral procession'. That was harsh. I realized I was using black as a safety blanket. Started forcing myself to pick one bold color per piece, like a bright orange lining. My work feels way more alive now. Anyone else get stuck in a color rut and break out of it?

Nah, just calling it like I see it, @grantthomas. You know how it is.
