Have you heard this before, designers? On the surface, it’s a statement that sounds legit. It uses relevant jargon. Objective-sounding in nature. A ‘glittering generality’–“It doesn’t fit within or brand guidelines”.

However, I recommend that you peel that onion. Because more often than not, when a client says a design is not within brand guidelines, they actually mean something else entirely. My guess: it is one or a few of these 5 things that they actually want to communicate.

No one knows where it came from. Ultima Thule. It landed and hovers above the ground. Unmovable. Those that dared to come close felt the energy surge through it. Strange markings cascade the smooth side with a precision that defies all our technological capabilities. Yet, the structure is ancient.

The fools kneel to it. Men of flawed logic try to unlock its secrets. The rest… the few… know this is but a harbinger of things to come. INKTOBER 2024. The last days offering. #Landmark

I play a dirge for the world. Each pluck a eulogy. Each glide a slip of memory. See them all dance oblivious to notes bleating, shuffling as if out of tune. Lost in life’s ebb. I play a dirge for the world. Let me console the empath by drowning their cries with garrottes made from catgut, crafting out of you my instrument anew. INKTOBER 2024 Day 30 offering— #Violin 🎻

Do you know what is as bad as not trusting the process? Rushing it. As the old Russian proverb dictates, “Measure seven times, cut once.” I added three because of our limited attention spans today. And it works out better for your creative projects. Otherwise, you risk hitting these common pitfalls.
