  • Learn about 6 horrendous mistakes I've made as a graphic designer, and how you can avoid them in your very own design workflow. It is a really smart thing to learn from other peoples' mistakes, and so in todays video you can learn from mine!
    I actually still make a few of these mistakes from time to time, nobody is perfect. However,. if you are aware of the mistakes you are making, maybe you can then address them and improve. Without knowing where we are going wrong, we are unable to better ourselves, so we first need to look at our weaknesses and our faults as a graphic designer.
    The graphic design industry is full of designers and creatives, and so if you want to have an edge over the vast majority of people out there, understanding where you are going wrong is going to help a whole lot to achieve that.

    One of the biggest mistakes I made as an amateur designer is that whenever I get approached by a potential client and I get asked on how much I charge, I tend to get really anxious that if I say a higher number the client can't afford, I will somehow lose . Not knowing that I should not be that way even if it was at the cost of losing clients. Because eventually there are just as many clients that do value the work graphic designers do, and do not see design as just a pleasing imagery.

    So many designers I have known has just ignored the client's budget and give WAY more than they should. If a customer wants to pay only £50 for a letterhead they'll get a pretty average result. If they spend £500 I'll take a lot more time and care. And I tell the client this. However some of my staff in the past has taken two or three days to earn just £100 - and wonder why I'm upset!

      It's funny how many people try to be trend setters, when they have zero authority or reach in the industry. The world doesn't work like that. It's similar to someone trying to influence the stock market with a $50 share, it won't happen. Whales and huge influencers move the stock market, and the same goes for the design industry.
