What's one piece of advice you'd give to new designers starting out today?
@Jerry Rodriguez You can do it. When I got my first big client, I though I would flop or even when I got my first project as a freelancer, I work alone and thought it would fail, but that has yet to happen. It may be scary to design, but you can do it!
@Ashlyn Jackson Well said!
@Jerry Rodriguez Get the foundations down. Typography, color, spacing. Embrace the constraints!
@Dan Lee Design fundamentals, I like it.
@Jerry Rodriguez Play loose, and refinement through iteration
@Kyle Humber Only get's better from there.
