Mistakes are the part of our life. If a designer is experienced and known for his remarkable creative work, then it doesn’t mean that he has never made a single mistake in his entire professional career.
Especially, if you’re new to the designing world, you will more likely to commit hundreds of mistakes. But, it’s absolutely fine because we all learn by making mistakes.
However, repeating the same mistake over and over again can put a negative impact to your designing career. Therefore, we’ve listed down a couple of biggest blunders that every designer in the world makes.
After overcoming all such blunders you will certainly see a very drastic and positive change to your approach and capacity.
- Not Understanding the Context
As a designer, your first and foremost duty should be to understand the context of your design. See, making contacts and getting huge amount of work is not something out of the world. However, if you really want to satisfy each one of your clients, then you have to take a step further.
Go very deep until you get every single idea about the work you’re assigned with. As only this way, you could be admired and appreciated by your clients.
- Disastrous Use of Typography
Typography can make or destroy the whole design in no time. And, it’s totally up to you to make the best use of it. But for this, you don’t need to go out-of-the-box. Instead, stick with the basics and by keeping in view the theme and core values of the project, use the typos accordingly.
- Taking Criticism Too Personally
A good designer is the one who welcomes all his critics and works out ways to improve his skills and expertise.
Similarly, you will come across a situation where you will feel yourself the most hated and criticized person in the world. But, everything happens for a reason. And, when you get into such a situation, take it as a motivation.
- Finalizing Without Proofreading
This is the most common mistake which majority of designers experience several times. It usually happens because of panic situations that may occur due to urgency from the client’s end or starting project when there are only few days left to the submission.
No matter what sort of situation you might be in, always make sure to proofread your final draft before sending it to your client.
