Go BIG With Your Freelancing Skills
Over at Usability Post, guest writer Wendell Fernandes asks you to design BIG:
Thinking outside the box can make your designs “pop”, and having good ideas can help you become successful — but what if you could not only think outside the box, but play with the box, kick the box, smash the box all over the place.
The secret is to design BIG!
The ultimate point of Wendell is that sticking to a set of fundamentals—in his case classic and effective layouts—isn’t necessarily limiting. The examples he uses all follow a proven formula. Yet, thanks to some special touches, these designs literally stand out from the rest of the web.
Even better, I’m sure that such an approach applies to other fields. Writers for instance, make sure to follow a certain set of guidelines to make their prose easy-to-understand. But this framework isn’t a restraint for their creativity. They manage to get their message across, but in a unique, entertaining, and engaging way.
As freelancers, you should always think of how to make your design, writing, photography, or whatever you do, BIG. Again, I return to the theme that limits exercise your creativity muscle. Everyone knows that there’s a proper way to do things, at least if fulfilling a certain set of objectives is paramount. But only effective freelancers know that the formula doesn’t have to be a step-by-step guide on how to fulfill a project.
