Hi there Creative.
I'm glad you see this, I believe you'll be too after reading through..

As Designers, there's always the want and desire to create masterpieces.. be it Products Packaging Designs or Visual Identities Designs. We sought for Design resources, ideas and softwares to help bring our creativity to life. But.. we mostly ignore these basics;

A. Your Designs, irrespective of what they are should communicate. How? It should speak for something. It might be for a brand, an event or even an individual idea.
Don't just create Posters, Webpost Designs, Fliers or Brochures with people still asking what the Design is all about.

B. Less is usually better, mostly.
When Designs are make, most Designers will use almost every resources they can get their hands on.. they'll use shapes, images, lines, colours, and Every other thing they can get hold of.. sometimes, beauty is seen in less.
Learn to manage the elements that makes up your Designs.

C. Have a story to your Designs. Like, why did you put this line here, why is the colour lighter here and deeper over there.. why make the image a vector instead of being raster...
A Design with a story convinces the Clients and audiences even more...

Do have a productive day.
