There are certain disciplines or forms of art where vanity and self can be found, something that we usually encounter on numerous occasions. This also brings us to confrontation between different personalities which manages to poison group projects.
Collaboration in a graphic design project can be vital in certain jobs for which we are going to know some of the attitudes or ways we can become a bad graphic designer. Above all, when we want to impose our visions, our taste for aesthetics and the reason why we know more than anyone else.
Jump in the pool on the first project you find
Enter a project where there are no set goals And there is no definition of the project itself, it is almost wanting to find yourself in trouble, nonsense and a bad environment. If you don't mind talking to those on your team or setting a work pattern or goal in a time limit, you are only helping it to fail.
Work with the wrong people
You can really want to work, but you also have to look at who you are going to meet with for a specific project. The less you know about their work and personality, more opportunities for that project to not even finish.
The safest is that you end up taking care of part of the work of others, which leads to you drown until you finish quitting.
Is always right
If for some reason, some of your colleagues or team members have a clear idea, don't ever tell them who do not have the talent that you possess and that the best they can do is listen to you.
Collaborating with others is the best way to know one's flawsSo don't try to hide them with mere excuses or don't expect others to always say yes to everything you say.
Use fonts that no one else uses
We could say that if your partners do not have access to the same sources that you use, it's your problem. Don't get the idea of letting them know if you include a source that doesn't even know the neighbor of the fifth; just let them find out so they know how talented you are.
Fill your work with layers that are useless
A zillion layers and only use 3? What you have to think is that if they had the brilliant idea to work with you, they would have thought about it before. Empty layers, with strange names or some that have no hierarchy, surely they serve to get someone out of their boxes.
Save your files with confusing names
Why name the files, if in the end you will be the only one who will use them? Little ideas occur to some. But the reality is that there is nothing less professional than sending someone a file named "Untitled-1.psd".
Close the way to collaborative tools
Living isolated With all the collaborative tools that we have today, it is wanting to bundle it in that work project. Don't you feel like it because it's very hot and you prefer to watch the latest episode of Big Bang Theory on your computer? Put the mobile in airplane mode, don't check the mail on your computer and go to another city, and by the way, change your name.
All the recognition to you
If that infernal project has finally come to fruition because you have someone on your team who is a real professional, bear all the nose of the world and let it be known that really the one who has made all the efforts has been you. All the credit to you, and the others have been nothing but mere entities that have worked at some point.
Responsibilities to others
You are the one who takes all the credit and you will have to be the one who carries the responsibilities if a big mistake is made. If something goes wrong, don't think about it and act like you're the victim and blame that colleague who was unlucky enough to use your computer for a few minutes while his was being repaired by the technician.
Be a monster
In the capitalist and materialistic world we live in, What reason do you have to be a lamb? Don't smile, never laugh, joke, or chat animatedly with someone. In this way you will not have any type of relationship and they will not be able to hurt you and you will not. Be cold and do not miss the opportunity to speak out loud bothering with that special tone of your voice.
And this is the life of the designer.
