Become difficult to ignore without becoming desperate to be seen.

Being hard to ignore comes from what you make. Being desperate to be seen comes from what you need, and the need tends to spoil the making, because it pushes you toward whatever gets attention fastest rather than whatever is worth attention. The two can look similar from outside for a while, and then they diverge sharply.

Before you publish or present something, ask whether you are showing it because it is ready or because you want to be noticed today. The impatient version is usually recognisable. Waiting a week and improving it is almost always the better trade.
