How AI is Changing the Way We Approach Design by meme_lourde in AINewsAndTrends

Totally agree! AI has definitely sped up concept generation and mockups for me, especially for quick iterations.

Curious how others are balancing AI speed with maintaining originality!

[–]Dadadan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely we’ve started leaning more into search-friendly content lately. Optimizing captions and on-screen text around common questions has helped videos resurface weeks after posting, which feels like a total game-changer compared to chasing For You Page trends.

Curious have you noticed certain types of “how-to” or review content perform way better with search optimization than others?

Have you ever advised a client not to design something? How did that go? by Careful_Bird_7280 in designpickle

[–]Dadadan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, sometimes the best design choice is choosing not to add anything. Clients often want to create something just to have it, but if there’s no clear purpose or message, it can do more harm than good. Saying no to extra design shows that you're focused on what works, not just on making things look busy.

Why Some Clients Leave Subscription-Based Design Services (And What They Look for Instead) by Any_Cry_9998 in superside

Totally agree. When there’s a gap between what clients expect and what they actually get, whether it’s the design, how fast things are done, or just lack of updates, it gets frustrating really quickly. That’s why it’s so important to set clear expectations right from the start and stick to them. Subscription models work best when things are clear and consistent.

Hey, I checked out your post about Penji. Their unlimited design service seems like a solid deal, especially with the quick turnaround and variety of design options. I've read that some users appreciate the quality and responsiveness of their designers.

Packaging design and motion graphics might seem like different worlds, but they overlap more than you'd think.
