Each of the designers who read this manages a blog or at least a half project with another person and about only 5% of them if they post on their blog, which is actually a absurdly anecdotal statistic.
Most of those designers who take the time to read this information attend conferenceIf you at least have a slide of the opening copied into some sketchbook.
Are you one of the designers who really design?
Also, many of the designers who are reading this they have an impulse, some secondary project or at least some idea that will make them design professionals, especially to those owners who really design. To sum up, it can be said that all designers who actually design spend a good part of their time wishing they didn't design.
Designers are generally told that “get a reputation”To achieve success. In the same way they tell them to write about design, speak at conferences, contribute to society, develop your own projects, you will get them to be "noticed".
The quality to do a job generates a quality job
However, managing a blog sometimes becomes a full time workSince giving lectures practically leads to spending a lot of time away from home, in some cases it is only a couple of days but in other cases, it is time to be away for several weeks. For every hour spent on a project that is being done in parallel, it is one hour less that is taken away from the main work of the clients.
A renowned and experienced designer said that to win prizes it is necessary to design for prizes, however he chose design to win customers.
Several of the most loyal customers commonly come from the same place, the one they acquire by being clients a bit old and as the years go by, several designers are lucky enough to find some of these types of clients and in general, most have something in common and it is nothing more than word of mouth. If you do excellent work for a single client, their friends will ask them questions about which designer they hired to do it, so you will not only get an advantage, but also it will be an advantage without any competition.
It is in this way that we can say that the quality of a job generates a quality job.
Customers want security
What is the number of clients who are actually qualified to adequately judge the quality of a design? Multiple clients want the security offered by the most award-winning designers, thus avoiding unknowing decisions.
So if you want to become a designer or if you want to continue being one, the best thing you can do is take the time to write, speak, participate in the community or focus all your energy on doing excellent work.
So (YES / NO) Should designers stick to the design?
- Yes, since the design is an art, that the more you practice the better it is.
- No, design is just one aspect of another much deeper creative career.
