10 Ways to Become a Better Designer
Doug Dosberg is at it again; his recent blog post is right on point and is a must read for all aspiring designers and a nice reminder as well for industry veterans.
Doug says:
I believe great designers not only have good design chops, but are also aware, fast, and intuitive. Although there are several ways to develop as a designer, below are ten things that I feel are important for every designer.
Doug focuses on 10 points:
- Know your tools
- Build an asset library
- Know what you are designing and why
- Know who you are designing for
- Be a happy designer
- Don’t try to create a masterpiece
- Ask others for opinions
- Use Creative Jumper Cables
- Look at what others are doing
- Challenge yourself

Those are all great points, the best one is the last one of course. Always challenge yourself and never lose track of what other people are doing
It is so important to continue to try new styles or ways of doing things. I like to switch to Fireworks every now and again to challenge myself to design a different way just for the challenge. I find this to be a good experiment in my own design skills.
