When I first started, I made all sorts of mistakes:
- I used five or six fonts on one layout, thinking that it was “variety”;
- I overloaded the composition with elements until it turned into chaos;
- I forgot about indents and white space, and the page “choked”;
- I chose colors without a system — and as a result it turned out motley, but not harmonious.
Now I understand that mistakes are part of the process. They teach you to see balance and understand that design works best when it is simple, honest and thoughtful.
For inspiration, I often look at the work of other designers on Behance and Dribbble, study posters and modern Japanese sites — all this helps me grow and find new approaches.
