Advice from A.G. Working in the Maldives, a budding generalist designer, coordinating layouts wit...
Today I am answering your questions about whether novice designers should be universal soldiers; how to coordinate layouts if the final decisions are made by a marketer; what customer requirements should be followed, and where it is worth insisting on your own, and why a bureaucrat should not dream of working in the Maldives.
I would like to award the prize for the most interesting question to Anna Suvorova and give her a monthly membership to Coworkcafe: https://bureau.ru/coworkafe/
Ask a question or write to A.G.: https://bureau.ru/soviet/ask, [email protected]
Enjoy watching!
00:00 Vladimir Ilyich Lenin asked to convey.
01:51 Meyer A.: How do you feel about the fact that a novice designer has to be a "universal soldier" and not develop only in one narrow direction? Often, a person without experience runs into employers who, in their opinion, should know Corel Draw, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, 3ds Max, web design, copywriting, etc. How can you avoid such employers and not waste time on interviews?
04:17 Ira: The marketer does not approve the layout. He demands clownish colors and gives a sea of minor edits. How can you get through to and convey the idea if the marketer makes the final decision on layouts in the company? Thank you!
06:45 Vsevolod Ushaev: What customer requirements should be followed without deviations, and where should you insist on your own? For example, choosing a color, font, size of elements
8:39 Anna Suvorova: I read in the Bureau code that a bureau worker should not dream of working somewhere in the Maldives, sipping a cocktail. I am not a bureau worker, but I really like reading advice, I try to apply it in practice. Why do you think that dreaming/wanting this is harmful? I am a novice editor, I work in the office and somehow I really wanted to move to remote work and a beautiful life, for example, working in a coffee shop in the morning, meeting the first rays of the sun.
