And if you\u2019re a designer, I\u2019m sure you do as well. It\u2019s part of our profession. <strong>What we think about design<\/strong> and the world around us <strong>greatly influences the choices we make<\/strong> and the ways in which we go about solving our clients\u2019 problems.<\/p>\n<p>Designers who have <strong>strong, interesting opinions about design not only have more prominence<\/strong> in the design community; they have more opportunities for <strong>truly inspiring and valuable work<\/strong>. Let\u2019s explore some reason why your opinions about design should be shared far and wide with designers the world over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"recommended_top\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Read Also:<\/strong>\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/encourage-blog-comments-tips\/\">7 Splendid Techniques to Encourage Comments on Your Blog<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Use Social Media To Crowdsource<\/h2>\n<p>When most designers hear the word \u201ccrowdsourcing,\u201d they think of sleazy, backdoor sites that try to con inexperienced designers into doing free or vastly underpriced work. But I\u2019m not talking about that kind of crowdsourcing.<\/p>\n<p>I mean that designers can use social media platforms for a different kind of crowdsourcing, one that doesn\u2019t ask for free work and that only adds to their career. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/what-is-crowdsourcing\/\">kind of crowdsourcing<\/a> that gets you <strong>opinions, conversation, communication, and industry connections<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/increase-visibility-for-designers\/social-media-crowdsource.jpg\" alt=\"social-media-crowdsource\" width=\"800\" height=\"608\"><\/figure>\n<p>Your social media followers can often hook you up with the information you need to advance your career, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/balance-market-getting-work-done\/\">market yourself properly<\/a>, or meet that awesome client you\u2019ve been dying to work for. The only thing they ask in return is an interesting stream of opinions and ideas from you which add value to their own lives and careers.<\/p>\n<h2>The Industry Needs Controversy<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/writing-controversial-topics\/\">Controversial ideas get people talking<\/a>, which in turn <strong>sparks creativity and helps us all grow<\/strong> as designers. Don\u2019t be afraid to get vocal about things that are bothering you about the industry. Do you think designers are going about something all wrong? Tell them so, and then <strong>tell them what they can do differently<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When I write these sorts of posts about design, I try to point out a problem that I\u2019ve noticed with a number of designers, as well as some simple fixes that will help them correct the course. The feedback I\u2019ve gotten has rarely been negative, even when I\u2019m at my most strident and obnoxious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Engage and challenge people<\/strong>, and you will be rewarded with notoriety (the good kind, of course).<\/p>\n<p class=\"recommended_top\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Read Also:<\/strong>\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/linkedin-groups-for-designers\/\">30 LinkedIn Group for Designers and Developers<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Blogging Gives Your Design More Credibility, And Vice Versa<\/h2>\n<p>If you have something to say about the industry, you will <strong>generate interest in your work<\/strong>. Many people got to know designer Jessica Hische through her famous infographic \u201cShould I Work For Free?\u201d which went viral several years ago. I know I did.<\/p>\n<p>The content was relevant and useful to me as a freelance designer (not to mention hilarious). This got me interested in her design work, and that\u2019s when I discovered her talent for lettering.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/increase-visibility-for-designers\/blogging-gives-credibility.jpg\" alt=\"blogging-gives-credibility\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\"><\/figure>\n<p>The other side of the equation is actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/high-demand-designers\/\">being good at what you do<\/a>. If you have great work to show off, people will take your opinions more seriously. <strong>If you say nice things, but don\u2019t have the design chops to back it up, designers are going to dismiss you very quickly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Clients Are Listening<\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s right. Clients who want to hire you for design work will most certainly be checking out your blog or social media stream to get a feel for how you think and who you are as an individual. Depending on what they find, they\u2019ll decide whether you\u2019ll a good fit for their project and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>You never know who will stumble across your work or your words, decide that you are the best thing they\u2019ve ever seen, and make you an offer for an insane amount of money for a dream gig with all the creative freedom you\u2019ve ever wanted. Don\u2019t think it can happen? Trust me, <strong>it <em>can<\/em> and <em>does<\/em> every day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/increase-visibility-for-designers\/clients-are-listening.jpg\" alt=\"clients-are-listening\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/figure>\n<p>This is absolutely <strong>not<\/strong> a call to censor yourself, by the way. Notice I said that clients will evaluate you based on whether they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/high-demand-designers\/\">think you\u2019re a good fit for their project<\/a>, and also whether their project is a good fit for you as an individual. If you censor what you say because you don\u2019t want to \u201coffend\u201d anyone, you\u2019re only <strong>hurting your chances to land that really amazing client you\u2019ve always known you\u2019d be a perfect match for<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that client was looking for someone with a little more \u201cbite\u201d to their content, and they\u2019ve completely passed you over because they thought you were a little too tame. How sad would that be?<\/p>\n<h2>Sharing Is Caring<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to <strong>share links to other blogs <\/strong>and<strong> tell people what you think about them<\/strong>. It\u2019s not just all about you \u2013 other designers have things to say as well.
