Prompt #1

Do what you can’t

Lack of confidence can keep us from taking that chance on a good opportunity, or asking for help on a project we believe is destined to fail.

If you’ve been holding back, here’s a message from Casey Neistat...
– Just do what you can’t.

Prompt #2

Start a daily challenge

By completing quick design challenges, you’ll gain confidence and feel success, which will encourage you to continue and further boost your confidence.

Namika Hamasaki set herself a challenge to create a background pattern in Figma everyday to push her creativity.

See Namika's process and how she gets inspired.

What’s a quick design challenge (15 – 30 min) you could do every day for the next 7 days?

Prompt #3

Are your logo designs versatile?

When designing a logo, always look at it's versatility and how it will be applied to different media. For example, how it will look if:

It’s embroidered to clothing (is it simple enough?)
It’s printed small (will the text be legible?)
There’s no colour (will it work in black and white?)
It’s placed in an awkward space (horizontal and vertical options?)
A sub-brand is applied in the future (is there space?)

Thinking about these things while designing will ensure your logo designs are versatile and will last for years to come.
