I usually like the results of my work, but I hate it when I see it in real life. Not because it looks different, I just don’t like that it exists. Recently I designed a logo and it got published online, and I feel bad for hating it. Do you feel the same? How to deal with it?
Answer
Not far into my career, I started noticing the same kind of thing.
I realized that I was simply being MUCH harder on my work than the work of others. This could definitely lead to giving up on that line of work, please don’t! Here’s two things that I’ve done since this realization:
- Honestly ask myself “what’s not so good about my piece, when compared to other similar works.” Right away, I started pinpointing things that I could improve, (or admit that it’s really on-par with the other work).
- When other designers request my criticism, I make an effort to treat their work like my own.
Bottom line, you can use it to your advantage!
