The design community, like any community, has its problems and issues<\/strong> that need to be resolved. It\u2019s going to take a lot more than a single blog post (or even an entire blog) to solve them, but, bit by bit, if more and more designers are vocal about the problems, we can perhaps all reach a solution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are some glaring issues that we\u2019re going to discuss in today\u2019s post which I\u2019ve noticed over the years, that I believe should be addressed by the design community as a whole<\/strong> going forward.<\/p>\n

1. Integrity, Integrity, Integrity <\/h2>\n

With the advent of the internet and its huge role in today\u2019s design industry, it\u2019s become far easier for designers to share their work with one another<\/a>. This is mostly a good thing, but sometimes, designers can become slaves to the trend bandwagon they\u2019re seeing at the moment, and they\u2019ll begin doing everything they can to stay abreast<\/a> of it.<\/p>\n

\"integrity\"<\/figure>\n

Making your work look like everything else out there because you want to be more popular with clients<\/a> or because you want more likes on Behance is never a good idea. Firstly, clients who push you to make designs that look like everyone else\u2019s are not good clients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That would be fine if that were truly the extent of the problem. But many designers, mostly inexperienced ones (but not always), will take things a step further and actually outright copy large portions of other designers\u2019 work<\/strong>. This goes beyond merely keeping up with trends, and lands squarely in the land of intellectual property theft<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. A Thick Skin<\/h2>\n

Ego has a legitimate place in design<\/a>. After all, you\u2019re being commissioned specifically for your creativity, and a designer has to have at least a basic level of self-confidence in order to believe that he or she is capable of such a task. Similarly, a designer will want to do the best quality work that they are capable of, and often that means noodling with tiny details that ordinary folks wouldn\u2019t notice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"thick<\/figure>\n

Your attention to detail makes the entire project look better<\/strong>, and your client will be happy with your dedication.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s important to remember the bottom line: no matter how creative you are or how good you make your designs look, you, the designer, are essentially a commodity. You\u2019re being hired as a designer to make the company money<\/strong>, not to showboat your beautiful designs around for praise and compliments \u2013 that\u2019s what your personal projects are for.<\/p>\n

The feedback given to you by good clients is to help you help them make more money, not to tear down your creative work<\/strong> of art. Hurt feelings are a byproduct of ego<\/strong> that needs to be put to the side while you\u2019re working professionally.<\/p>\n

3. Pleasing Clients First<\/h2>\n

This phenomenon is part of what I like to call the Dribbble Conundrum<\/strong>. Many designers are valuing form over function<\/strong>, and forgetting the actual point of design, which is to solve a problem for your client<\/strong>. Even when the client is yourself. Posting work online and having others gush with praise over it is enough to give anyone the wrong idea about what design is all about.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreative\u201d is good, but so is \u201cusable\u201d or \u201cfunctional.\u201d<\/strong> Before polishing the outside of a car, it\u2019s important to make sure it has an engine first.<\/p>\n

I believe this problem stems largely from design schools<\/a>, which manufacture designers who have been trained to seek the praise of their instructors and classmates, rather than a potential client<\/strong>. They design according to expectations that are unrealistic, and which almost no client would agree to<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, I believe that being a student is the best opportunity you will have to explore your creativity and be as crazy and experimental as you want. But the bottom line is, you\u2019re going to eventually be working to someone else\u2019s<\/em> specifications<\/strong>. Otherwise, you\u2019re creating art, not design \u2013 in which case, call it what it is.<\/p>\n

4. Sketchbooks<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a good one. Many designers today see their computers as all-in-one workstations where they simply sit down and leap straight into Photoshop or Illustrator and take a design from the idea stage all the way to completion<\/a>. I\u2019m not saying this method doesn\u2019t work for some designers, or that it\u2019s not a good way to save time when you\u2019re really pressed to meet a deadline. It can be a hassle to scan in drawings or fiddle around with analog materials when your tablet is right there<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"sketchbook\"<\/figure>\n

But it\u2019s important to remember that software doesn\u2019t have all the answers<\/strong> \u2013 technology doesn\u2019t equal creativity<\/strong>. If you\u2019re finding it hard to get real, quality work done completely on your computer, perhaps it\u2019s time to take a break and dust off that sketchbook. I don\u2019t really know any designers at the top level who don\u2019t make tons of sketches and notes on paper<\/a> first, before ever touching their computer.<\/p>\n

The pen is mightier than the mouse<\/h3>\n

Working on paper<\/a> forces you to actually think about your design before you just dive in. When you sketch, you have to slow down, let the ideas filter through your head<\/strong>, and spend some time going through the duds before you get to the right one for your project. 99.9% of the time, this results in a much better result, plus you actually save time on the computer because the majority of the work has already been done.<\/p>\n

This is something that many, many designers, including myself, struggle with at least occasionally. After all, it\u2019s much faster and easier to hop on the computer and start clicking away. But a lot of things simply fly out of the window<\/strong> when you design this way, including, sometimes, even basic rules of design. You forget about composition, details, color theory<\/a>, and the purpose of each design element.<\/p>\n

5. A Look at The World Outside Design<\/h2>\n

Designers can get so caught up in the world of beauty and perfect functionality that is design that they forget they are designing for \u201cregular\u201d people<\/strong> who may not know as much, or care as much about design as you do.<\/p>\n

Instead of thinking that these people aren\u2019t as inclined in design as you are, this may mean that you aren\u2019t spending enough time outside of your little design bubble<\/a> <\/strong>to have a broad perspective on the human experience. As a result, your design ideas will eventually stagnate, and you will find yourself churning out the same uninspiring ideas for client after client.<\/p>\n

\"at<\/figure>\n

Do me a favor: next time you get a new client, before you do any sketching or browsing through Design Served, just get up from your computer, go over to your bookshelf, and pick up a book<\/a><\/strong>. It doesn\u2019t even matter which one \u2013 the more off-topic it is, the better.<\/p>\n

Read about philosophy, science, history \u2013 whatever. Just sit down and soak in something non-design related for a moment. Do this on a regular basis, along with going outside and interacting with people<\/strong>, and I guarantee you will see an upsurge in the quality of your creative ideas.<\/p>\n

6. Not Everyone Cares<\/h2>\n

This may sound harsh, but bear with me for a moment. I don\u2019t mean that your clients don\u2019t care about good design<\/a>, just that they, and most people who will encounter your work, will be looking at it with an outsider\u2019s perspective<\/strong>, rather than with the deep love and reverence that you have.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t think you\u2019re not just as guilty about other industries whose products and services you use. Most people who own a car don\u2019t really care about the specifics of how the engine works. You just want the darn thing to get you where you need to go, and you want the mechanic to fix it if it\u2019s broken. Nobody wants a long, boring explanation of how the human body works when they go to the doctor, either; just fix me and let me get out of here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Do you agree that these 6 things are problems in the design world? What else do you think is lacking among designers working today? Or, if you\u2019re an optimist, what are some things that designers are doing right?<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
