What do you think makes someone a good designer?

[Braga13]

Many people have taken up a career in design recently, but only a few are creative in the design field. In your opinion, what are the qualities that make a designer an artist?

 

[Vladv26]

I think you have to be very passionate about what you are doing. Lots of people try to work in this domain because you can earn a lot of money and that's why they don't succeed. You need to love this kind of job and do it because you like it, not because of the money

 

[WhiteHouse]

You have to love what you do then every other thing comes after.
You have to be constantly learning and sharpening your skills

Many people have taken up a career in design recently, but only a few are creative in the design field. In your opinion, what are the qualities that make a designer an artist?

First, the talent for art
Secondly, the study, which is very, very, very important, because it develops. Third, it is the most important, and this stage is the one that moves you to the designer stage and brings practical experience and training on everything new and every day, and do not neglect the free drawing
Because it is the revelation language in which you can explain what is going on in your mind from creativity and designs

This a great question and I feel it's very timely because the graphic design space has become so trendy there are a lot of people who claim to be designers but really don't have what it takes. In my country, this has gone out of control because there's no governing body that says just because you didn't qualify, you can't set up a graphic design business.

I feel to be a fantastic graphic designer takes a lot of various elements including but not limited to:

- The formal skills that come with graphic design qualifications so you're able to interpret and understand industry practices such as brand standards an respond to and work with marketing request etc
- An eye for great aesthetics
- Attention to detail
- A strong sense of creativity
- The ability to draw inspiration from various sources
- The desire to educate clients because quite often, they are clueless
- Outstanding communication skills

You need to be creative and pay attention to detail. With this it will be more easy for you to design anything on different software

I think the following stuff are needed for a good designer.

1. Gathering all the requirements effectively.
2. Ability to do necessary changes to a finished product.
3. Getting regular feedback from the clients.
4. Providing the end product within the timeline.
Apart from these, he/she needs to have good communication skills.

What makes you good in everything you are doing not just graphic design is to master that aspect and have a vast knowledge about what you are doing and keep searching for new ideas to boost the work you are doing

 

[Olageshin]

It is the number of latest design that makes me to say that someone is a good designer
The ability to think beyond the box is also good

 

[MizzLala]

One thing I also want to point out is that YouTube videos alone simply won't help you become a great graphic designer. Some people in my country don't want any hands-on or formal training because they just want to go straight into earning money after watching a few videos on YouTube. And it shows.

 

[adazeez1995]

The most important thing is never to stop learning. Graphic designing is an industry filled with technicalities and creativity and it evolves faster than many other professions. Designers constantly have to learn new softwares,and step on top of trends. Never stop learning or looking for inspiration.

 

[Kehinde]

Great designers are curious and first and foremost, they observe, take notice and make notes of things others overlook. A designer loves the special moment when she finds somebody implementing a DIY solution to compensate for poor design.

 

[eenya001]

I would state some attributes of becoming a great designer, but the first I think should be your level of creativity, you have to be very creative if you want to be a very great designer, then you have to be a risk taker, try the things that most designers are scared of doing. Then think as if there is no box.

 

[kayode10]

Creativity is one of the traits that makes someone a good graphic designer. You ability to think out of the box will set you apart from other graphic designers out there. You must be able to create fascinating concepts that other designers will emulate. You must also be able to spot and bring out uniqueness in every art work you do.

As it is said that pratice makes a man perfect, so for the qualities that make a designer an artist are practice and testing again till you will become an expert. You should make a pratice and then test your self and yor skills to be perfect one.

 

[Janita]

Creativity is the main thing as for becoming the designer we need to learn basic skills and arts related to designing .
For these things we have to practice and learn the categories and mostly people takes classes for learning arts and designing features.
this is not so easy that we can understand it in a very few time .it takes months too.

Creativity ingenuity makes one a good designer. A good designer should be creative enough to design what will be acceptable by all and sundry. Your ingenuity will cause you to stand out amidst all equals and enjoy great patronage.
