What is Design for me?
Hey! Even though I am not that good at it, I have my own perspective too. That I’ll be having in just a while. Really, I am not that good I am just a learner and continue learning things that is why up to now I am a beginner hunger for learning. I just want to share something about things I have previously learn and encountered.
There are many good designers out there, and I always wanted to be good like them. Some people compare their works and self to others, like what I have encountered a couple of months ago and we had a quick conversation, so here it was:
Anonymous: Hey! Are you in to designing?
Me: Oh, I can’t tell. Slight maybe hihi.
Anonymous: Wow, which software do you use?
Me: Adobe. I’ve been using it for quiet a while.
Anonymous: Wow me either.
Me: Well, that’s good.
Anonymous: Hey? Do you think that *#@^ is good?
Me: <shocked>
(Wait a minute? What the heck is he trying to say?)
Anonymous: I mean, is his works cool for you?
Me: <ShHHhsh>
(Now we are talking!)
Anonymous: What do you think?
Me: Ahm! We can’t tell, it is his own design made and I do think that he’s good. Designs do come and go, sometimes we get the concepts we wanted or what was asked for but there are times really that whatever we do, we can’t really do it.
From this conversation, I came up into a conclusion about what was design is to/for me. Some of these are sometimes forgotten.
Be Unique.
Uniqueness is most attractive to the eyes of the viewers, and they wanted new things for their eyes.
Learn from others.
Learning from others is quiet cool learning some techniques, learn it and make it your own and don’t forget the first thing.
Practice.
Practice makes perfect, this is the quote that never fails in any field you are in.
Read, Think and Learn.
Yeah! Think, sit and make up your mind so you can conceptualize.
Do not compare to others.
Comparing to others might be suicidal, I mean do not compare your work, when you do, sometime you’ll just be frustrated. Love your own. Good works and Skillful people should be an inspiration to be better not as a competition because when you think of it? There are billions of good designers. What would you do now?
That is all folks. Have a nice day. Enjoy. These things are my opinions and I am not a pro hihi just an ordinary learner hanging around. See some other post of mine in quesera | invent the future
