Just wrapped up a review session with our vibrant team of young designers, and I'm buzzing with energy! Here's a slice of our conversation for any emerging designer out there: "Your design has the spark, but let's turn it into a wildfire. Think about the story behind every line and color. It's not just about 'looking good'; it's about 'feeling right.' Can your design make someone stop scrolling and think? That's the magic spot. Remember, every great design started as a mere doodle. Keep iterating, keep dreaming." Feedback is the breakfast of champions, and trust me, these young minds are ready to feast and flourish. To all the fresh talents out there, absorb the feedback like a sponge. It's not criticism; it's the blueprint for your masterpiece-in-waiting. To my seasoned pros, how do you nurture creativity through your feedback? Share your insights! #technology #creativity #careers #education #design #graphicdesign #visualdesign #storytelling

Process is key in design. But creativity needs freedom. Here’s how to balance both in 4 steps: 🔸 PLAN: set clear, structured stages 🔸 EXPLORE: be open to taking unexpected paths 🔸 REFINE: merge ideas with the process 🔸 DELIVER: present polished, thoughtful work Processes in design aren’t creativity killers. They’re the tracks for your ideas to run on. Without them, creativity can lose direction, becoming less impactful. How can we achieve creativity without losing sight of the goal? Follow these four steps to ensure your design not only shines but also delivers its message effectively. Let’s design with purpose! #graphicdesign #designstrategies #designprocess

A lot has changed in the last twelve months. Styles and trends are coming and going at a rapid rate and keeping a finger on the pulse is frantic business. But with every passing year we’re seeing the world of design grow weirder and more wonderful, with creatives pushing boundaries further than ever and constantly evolving in pursuit of their next great visual. What will be cool? What will be not-so-cool? What the heck is retro-futurism and how can we design for everyone? These are just a few of the questions our Design Lead, Sam Perkins, looks to answer in the first annual Nice and Serious Trend Forecast. https://lnkd.in/eqA2XurU

BETHANY’S HOT TAKES 💅🏻 You didn’t ask, but I’m gonna tell you anyway For context, these are the Principles of Design: Unity, variety, rhythm, balance, contrast, hierarchy, emphasis, repetition, proportion, movement, proportion, & white space 🙅🏻♀️ Designs are ineffective and labelled ‘bad’ when these principles aren’t executed correctly 🧠 But I argue that it also makes the design inaccessible for the neurodiverse community …why? Because: 🌻 HIERARCHY & MOVEMENT is needed to show them where to focus first and smoothly guide them through the content 👉 Without this, it’s confusing and they may miss sections 🌻 WHITE SPACE & BALANCE is needed to break up content into manageable pieces, so it isn’t overwhelming to read or difficult to decipher 👉 Without this, they decide to carry on walking or scrolling without reading a single word 🌻 EMPHASIS & PROPORTION is needed to deliver additional cues that communicate ‘this word/shape/image is important’ 👉 Without this, they may miss the point you’re trying to make - remember, it’s not obvious to everyone 🌻 CONTRAST & VARIETY is needed to make the design appealing & engaging so they’re drawn to the design in the first place 👉 Without this, their attention is lost and it’s another ‘goodbye’ 👋 to your content I could go on about the rest, but the aim is not to overwhelm here 😉 Just sort out your designs and think deeper about visual comms, okay? 💬 Now as it’s a Creative Tuesday… we need to get those cogs turning So I want you to share a design in the comments and explain why you think it is, or isn’t, accessible ⬇️ #ProfessionalWithPersonality #Design #VisualIdentity #PersonalBranding #Neurodiversity #ChronicIllness #Authenticity  ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I’m Bethany 💁🏻♀️ Founder of BeBeau Creative 🌻 A Full Service Design & Consulting Agency ✨ for Neurospicy & Inclusive Business Owners NEW offer coming THIS MONTH 👀 👩🎤 BE alternative so there is NO alternative! 👩🎤
