I've had this little philosophy in my mind for a while now and I just wanted to get it down somewhere. It's what I believe to be the four key characteristics for a good designer. A bit pretentious I know but here goes anyway:
The ‘eye’- An abstract concept that is essentially the ability to differentiate good and bad design
The idea- The invaluable skill of creative thinking which separates the good design from the great
Motivation- The driving force for a designer
The skill- The ability to translate your ideas into the physical world
Well... I'm glad I've got that off my chest.
Of course, everyone has a certain quantity of all the characteristics I've listed and by no means do you have to excel on every single level to be successful, I suppose you just need a healthy mix. Luckily not only do I excel at every area of this list but I actually invented the list, that's how good I am. Man I'm good.
