I'm good at remembering concepts, bad at remembering where I heard them. @theChrisDo in one of his videos speaks about a few techniques to play with your designs to come up with more variations, or hit the nail in the head for a client exploration
1. Remove elements
Sometimes decorations you added hurt your ability to think if the message is right, or if there are possibilities you havent explored for layouts
2. Double down (🔥 can't ever get enough of this one)
Grab something from your design, pick a characteristic and double down. Is it bigger than the text, make it massive, make it overflow. Is it smaller? how about a patterned section? this works for text, images, icons, etc.
3. Mind the basics
Nail down your layout, composition, repetition, grid system, design system, etc. If you are not clear on what they are, check Chris' channels or @thefuturishere courses
Altho fam, keep this in mind, i'm no designer, I'm a CS grad that runs a creative biz.
I trust my teachers, my mentors, my team and my gut :)
Trust yourselves too.
