Remember you are designing...
...not just a product.
When you begin designing, it can be tempting to try and design is all at once. But strong outcomes are rarely built on like that, instead they are designed one element at a time. This page breaks down a range of possible products you might design and highlights the elements you may need to design or include.
Every product has its own structure, purpose and design language. A magazine cover needs hierarchy and impact. A package design must consider net layout, legal information and how it will sit on a shelf. A poster has to communicate quickly and clearly at a distance. By studying these components carefully, you begin to see patterns — and once you see them, you can use them intentionally.
