Traits of a Professional Designer
As discussed in prior articles, designing and designers, are two significant and effective factors that play major roles in marketing and sales affairs. So this article has been prepared to establish a framework for discussing ideal traits and attributes of a professional designer.
A professional designer should:
Be in touch with his medium, people and thoughts:
a professional designer should be inspired by novel ideas, fresh thoughts, and driving trends. No design, sketch or creation is possible without employing fresh images and approaches.
Be innovative:
An engaged and forerunner designer is to be innovative. He should dare to taste new methods, explore undiscovered areas of art and take steps on the fields that have not been touched before. The most considerable reality is that all of the needed techniques and means, are available and can be learned through hardworking and perseverance.
Be Up-to-date:
new trends and fresh approaches are always out there, ready to be discovered and employed by the genius and intelligent designers who are seeking for redefining frameworks, stories and established rules or manners.
Be kind with reviews and comments: a professional and established designer should be courage enough for getting new reviews, comment and so criticisms. All comments, criticism, and review should be considered as constructive and driving forces for improving his job and define his work in a new layout with well-defined metrics and criteria.
Flexibility:
a designer without flexibility is like a ball without movement. A professional designer should be flexible enough to form and reform his styles and work fashion to a better and more reasonable one that can serve not only his goals and ideals but his craft and other related stakeholders.
A personal style and customized fashion: designers should be able to define and establish fashion of their own which describes them, better than any other external and foreign factors like critics, people, reviews and other similar entities.
