As a Graphics designer, Your first and most important asset is your INSTINCT...
You have been studying for long, gathering Experience in the graphics design field...
Believe me, all those knowledge and experience is what make up your creative instinct...
So if you must put it to good use, you mustn't fight with your instinct when working...
Don't try to do more than what you naturally feel you should do... And also don't do less because of laziness...
You are meant to just follow the leading of your instinct...
I created a Design recently... By the first day I began the project, I was already done... But Because I really want to impress the client, I just thought was I created was not good enough...
So I spent up to three days fighting with my instinct, about what to add to the design... Thank God I have I very strong instinct... So My instinct eventually won the battle, and so I just decided to send it to the client without adding anything to it...
But to my greatest surprise, The client was screaming out of excitement when they saw it... They said it's just 'PERFECT!!!'
Originally, I knew that what I did was good, but I felt I should add to it...
Some times, as creatives, we feel design is just all about adding beautiful things to the work, or making the work look beautiful...
No, design is way beyond that... So just follow the flow of your professional instinct...
