None of the jobs in the sphere of web and app design can avoid this stuff, so let\u2019s look into some stereotypes about designers and try to justify or disprove them with our own experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Stereotype 1. Designers are usually messy and untidy (as well as other creative guys).<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">There are decades or even centuries of thoughts that real creators are people never bothering about housework or other chores. They are believed to be out-of-earth, flying in their dreams and projects far from wasting time on putting things in their places. And for some people of the trade it can be true, but, being honest, most of them are rather far from success and fame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Successful designers are always busy. Having their hands full, they have to be productive. That means they can never allow themselves to be untidy and messy because that is the death knell of their productivity. Design needs not only creativity but also deep concentration and thorough focus. Getting distracted from the process to find something as decent as a pencil not returned at its place will slow down the designer noticeably. When it happens several times a day or (no way!) an hour, you can forget about speed. Speed and efficiency mean more work, more customers and that is more money. Time is money, no joke. So why lose it in a mess?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8212\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-designer-work-place.jpg\" alt=\"tubik-designer-work-place\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-designer-work-place.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-designer-work-place-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-designer-work-place-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>Tubik Studio\u00a0CEO\u00a0 Sergey Valiukh working on the project: nothing distracting, pure concentration.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The same should be said about the mess in a computer brain. Working with any project, a designer has to accomplish tons of updates. And if you are good at your craft, you are going to have several projects at the same time. That means that you HAVE to be organized and teach yourself to keep everything in order. Otherwise, one day you\u2019ll get stuck in loads of files, subfiles and \u201cthe-newest-very-final\u201d files on your desktop. In this case, deadlines are literally going to become dead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> Experienced designers often say that even your desk should be as tidy as possible because nothing should distract you, breaking your concentration. A cluttered desk means cluttered head for many people. Think about it organizing your working space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8211\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-design-business-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"tubik-studio-design-business\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-design-business.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-design-business-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-design-business-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-design-business-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Tip: Want to be productive? Keep mess as far from your desk, computer, and brain as possible.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Stereotype 2. Customer is always right<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">This thought is typical not only for the sphere of web and app design but for any field where you create or sell products for customers. Although, in the area of web and app design\u00a0(maybe more often than in others) this rule doesn\u2019t work in every case and context. This happens because the customers mostly see the product from their own perspective, with the target of profit or conversions as the priority. It is natural that customers will think about their own benefits. But, keep in mind, the customer is mostly not the final user of the product. And the aim of a designer is to view the task from the perspective of future users, otherwise, the customer\u2019s priority will be failed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">So, it is very important to work in tight collaboration and always remember: your customer doesn\u2019t have to know all the nuances and peculiarities of the design process. That is why THEY are customers and YOU are a designer. Be attentive and sensitive to everything that your customers want, but don\u2019t let it go beyond the limits of reasonability and sensibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Don\u2019t be too soft but at the same time don\u2019t be too hard. If you are too gentle or just indifferent, if you only follow your customer\u2019s wishes not analyzing whether they are potentially efficient, you risk not creating a good working product that will make your name and bring you more customers. If you are too hard, your customer will feel you are too intrusive and bossy, so not respectful enough to your client \u2014 and you risk not only losing this particular project but also getting notorious through word-of-mouth references from customers. Therefore, it is vital to find a happy medium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8213\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-designers.jpg\" alt=\"tubikstudio designers\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-designers.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-designers-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-designers-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-designers-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>Regular brainstorming session at the studio<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Moreover, the thing, which has been practically checked by studio designers, is the idea that communicating with your customers you should get not only his wishes but also try to get the ideas and reasons for these wishes. If you understand why your customer wants to see particular colors, shapes or transitions, it will be easier for you (if necessary) to justify other methods of realization of these ideas which would give the result desired by the customer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">As a piece of a practical example, we have written about the process of collaboration with designers in the <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/case-study-logo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">case study for the Ribbet logo<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Tip: Be attentive to your customers. Be honest with your customers. Be helpful to your customers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Never say: I am a designer, I know how to do it better \u2014 that is not the explanation of anything even if it\u2019s one thousand percent true.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Never say: I am just a designer, I will do anything you want (and that is not my problem if your ideas and wishes do not work).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Justify, explain and keep your head high.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Your customers MAY be not right, but they HAVE to be satisfied and that is YOUR job.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Stereotype 3. Designer needs to work alone for the highest productivity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Again, the first note to make should be \u201cIt is highly individual\u201d. There are people in any creative job who are absolutely unable to work in a team and give the best result when they are not disturbed by other people. However, on the basis of practice, <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/design-workstyle-freelance-vs-teamwork\/\">teamwork<\/a> is a great way for productivity in the sphere of design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Sure, it is much simpler just to get several designers sitting together in the same room, staring at their own computer screens and not talking to each other for ages. They will be effective workers, but their effectiveness will be limited to the edges of their own desk, so the success of the company will be created by the number of individual separate energies. Well, why not?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Nevertheless, if you get them together as a united collective mind, it will be far more efficient. Believe us, we\u2019ve checked. Working in the team doesn\u2019t mean losing individual creativity or fame \u2014 vice versa, it up-sizes designers\u2019 individual abilities and makes them work faster and more productively. Working in the team, you can gather your colleagues for a brainstorm session, you are always able to ask for advice or share the newest information and practical skills valuable for the whole team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8214\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/design-studio-tubik-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"design-studio tubik\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/design-studio-tubik.jpg 820w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/design-studio-tubik-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/design-studio-tubik-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/design-studio-tubik-120x150.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>Tubik Studio design team: individual work always combined with tight collaboration and support<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8215\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-design-office-teamwork.jpg\" alt=\"tubikstudio design office-teamwork\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-design-office-teamwork.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-design-office-teamwork-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-design-office-teamwork-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubikstudio-design-office-teamwork-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8216\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-UI-designers-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"tubik-studio-UI-designers\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-UI-designers.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-UI-designers-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-UI-designers-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-UI-designers-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>Sharing and discussion is the part of the working routine<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8218\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-brainstorm-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"brainstorm designers\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-brainstorm.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-brainstorm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-brainstorm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tubik-studio-brainstorm-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>Feeling the power of the collective mind<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Tip: You can work alone if you want, and it will never make you weak or inefficient.

The idea is a key<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Talking about the nature of the design process, there is a common thought among both designers and non-designers that the most essential and focal thing in any project is to invent (find, discover, work out) the idea. If you have a brilliant idea \u2014 you are halfway (or even closer) to success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Practice shows that reality is very different. Your idea may seem absolutely brilliant for the first five seconds, hours or days, and you can give yourself some time to be proud of your own geniality. However, then there will come the moment when you will have to consider your idea. And, for example, simple research can reveal that there are several more geniuses around having come up with the same idea. That doesn\u2019t make your one worse \u2014 it just shows that it is not unique and to make it original you will have to apply some more efforts. Moreover, your customers may not share your vision. There can appear awful difficulties in the practical realization of a new concept. So, the invention of the idea doesn\u2019t automatically mean that it will bring the successful result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Considering the specific features of the web\/app design job, there also can be the problem that the amazing design of the interface, great animation or bright branding elements in practice can become a total failure from the user\u2019s perspective. If you don\u2019t want it to happen, you should be ready to research, design, analyze, iterate and maybe even redesign.
