Major struggles of designers they encounter often, while designing - 1. Requirements of showing so much content in a fold and struggling to maintain the hierarchy and aesthetic, which leads them to indecisive state for sometime. 2. Unable to match frequency with senior/lead, and struggling for design approval and doubting themselves. 3. Having strong bias for aesthetics, and regretting when it's not looking beautiful as always, no matter how efficiently it is solving a problem. If a designer overcomes these challenges, the life become easy significantly. What problems(less debated) do you face, while designing? #design #designerslife #designchallenges #insightsatwork

Form vs Function Two weeks ago, I had a conversation with my boss over coffee about an upcoming project. He emphasized, "I want it to be simple and effective. Don't focus too much on the form." This statement has stayed with me since. I’ve noticed many designers create for other designers, producing stunning but often impractical designs. While showcasing creative capabilities is important, these designs often fall short in real-world applications. The key is to achieve a perfect blend between form and function—not a 50/50 compromise, but a 100/100 synergy. Imagine creating a product that is both beautiful and incredibly efficient. That's the goal we should strive for.

✏ What makes a good designer? We love this ‘ode to boring designers’ by Cap Watkins, on why the best designers are the ones who create the simplest, most #UserCentred solutions. 👊 “The boring designer is trusted and valued, because people know they're in it for the product and the user. 🕵♂️ “The boring designer realizes that the glory isn't in putting their personal stamp on everything they touch. In fact, most of the time, it's about leaving no trace of themselves. 👀 “Most people come to the boring designer first with questions about their work or plans. They trust the boring designer to look at their goals and problems with a practical eye.” https://lnkd.in/ebYuqTKX #Design #ProductDesign

What does it mean to be a top designer? I’ve come across many designers with impressive projects in their portfolios that made them seem like seasoned professionals. However, I noticed a lack of consistency. They were capable of creating something exceptional, but their other projects didn't meet the same standards. In my opinion, what truly defines a great and experienced designer is the ability to consistently deliver good designs across various projects & styles, maintaining a high level. #design #work #development

🌟 **Embracing Creative Freedom: Designers Need Time, Not Deadlines** 🌟 In the dynamic world of design, creativity knows no bounds. It's an intricate dance between imagination and execution, a process that demands time and space to flourish. Yet, in the realm of deadlines, designers often find their creativity stifled, strangled by the ticking clock. Let’s rethink this paradigm. Instead of imposing tight constraints, let's give our designers the freedom to explore, experiment, and ideate. By removing the pressure of unrealistic timelines, we unlock the door to innovation. Ideas need room to breathe, to evolve, and to transform into something extraordinary. When designers have the luxury of time, they can delve deep into their creative reservoirs, delivering not just projects but masterpieces. When we prioritize creativity over deadlines, we foster a culture of innovation. We empower our designers to think beyond boundaries, to envision the extraordinary, and to create designs that resonate profoundly. Let’s celebrate the brilliance that emerges when creativity is nurtured, not rushed. #DesignInnovation #CreativeFreedom #DesignersUnleashed #InnovationCulture 🚀 #graphicdesinger Akhil Emmadi #visualdesigner #conceptart #Photoshop #designers

Here's the worst thing about being a designer: Everyone knows what *good* design looks like. It can be identified out of a line-up 100% of the time by anyone. But when you start doing design – in any field – you realize quickly that just because you know what good design is, you don't know how to make it. So what do you do? Spend years making (truly f*cking) bad design and look jealously over at other designers who are farther along their design journey than you. And if you stick with it long enough, you might find yourself making something *you* actually like. 10,000 hours is just scratching the surface.

5 Types of Designers I've crossed paths with! Even though I am an introvert, I am keenly interested in people. I noticed, how the design world is filled with all sorts of fun characters. Here are the types that I've had the pleasure (and sometimes, the challenge) of bumping into: 1. The Visionary Dreamer Picture this - they're always a step ahead, conjuring up the next big thing before you've even finished your coffee. Their creativity knows no bounds! 2. The Sage of Design Wise beyond measure, they're like the Gandalf of our design realm, offering pearls of wisdom and insights that'll make your head spin (in the best way possible). 3. The Collaborative Dynamo A true team player, they're the heartbeat of any project, rallying the troops, cracking jokes, and keeping spirits high during those late-night design sessions. 4. The Perfectionist Extraordinaire Detail-oriented to a fault, they're on a never-ending quest for perfection, ensuring every pixel is in its rightful place. Hey, someone's gotta keep things pristine, right? 5. The Emerging Luminary With a fresh perspective and boundless enthusiasm, they're already making waves in the design scene. Watch out for these rising stars - they're destined for greatness! And there you have it. A snapshot of the diverse and colorful world of design personalities!

I wish somebody had told me these 3 things before I started. . . Designing is filled with imagination, the impact it can have and a touch of reality. And challenges are a part of it and this is how it can be easy: 1/ It's normal to have creative blocks. Take a walk or listen to music and try to find inspiration outside your workspace. Give your mind the space it needs to recharge. 2/ Expect criticism, but don't let it demotivate you. Instead, see it as a stepping stone. Try to find the balance between meeting client expectations and showcasing your unique design strengths. 3/ 3/ You will need to manage multiple projects and tight deadlines. Draft a project timeline to stay on track and focused on what’s important. When you put your whole heart into it, nothing can stop you.
