Just 10 more minutes and I’m done." Three hours later, I’m still comparing two shades of beige that look exactly the same to everyone except me. 😭 There’s a part of graphic design people don’t always see. The time spent adjusting spacing, testing colours, changing layouts, and trying to figure out why something still doesn’t feel right. To everyone else, nothing changed. But I know the headline finally sits right, the spacing feels better, and the colours actually work together. Sometimes, the final design looks simple because the hard work is hidden in a hundred tiny decisions nobody will ever notice. And honestly, that’s what makes design interesting. If you’re a graphic designer, what’s one detail you can spend way too much time perfecting? 👇

Headline kerning for me, I'll nudge two letters for ten minutes and nobody will ever notice 😄 Which one was it with the beige, the shade or how it sat next to the text?
