Accept Your Limitations And Get With It
Now, let me tell you right off the bat: I’m no art director. Actually, I’m pretty far from being good at web design myself.
I know this because I work with some very talented web designers and boy, they have talents I’ll never have.
But I’m not talking about highly creative skills here. And if I can learn basic information design, so can you.
Let me highlight this with a short story:
When I studied at the university, I took a 10 week course named Information Design. And I sucked at it.
At the very end of the course, we voted for who had produced the most beautiful information designs during the course. I don’t remember the name of the girl who won, but from what i could tell—she was talented.
Of course, some fellow douchebag thought it was a good idea to also have a vote on who had done the most terrible design.
