95% of the world's oceans and 86% of the Earth's inhabitants remain unexplored. The same applies to design: more than half of the creative industry's questions remain unanswered. Designers come to most of these questions at a certain stage of their career, while others remain a mystery even after many years of work. In this lecture, Mitya Osadchuk will attempt to lift the veil of secrecy and solve the unsolved riddles of designers.
How to understand your level of design. Why vertical growth kills professionals. Why not every designer can handle the responsibilities of an art director, and not every art director can handle the responsibilities of a designer. How to define your role in a team. Why repetitive tasks are the path to success. Mitya will discuss the main challenges of teamwork and share tips on how to overcome them. How to effectively provide feedback to employees and why it's necessary to challenge tasks.
