Digital Design Manifesto
Have Fun
Design
for yourself as much as your audience. Be excited about what you are
doing, have fun. This will come through in your work, and even if not
everyone enjoys the final product, there will be someone the either does
enjoy it, or at least enjoys the process you went through to make it.
Take risks
Innovate
and try something new. Stand out. Experiment with different software,
mechanics, art styles or methods of creating. Experimenting with new
software and techniques can help push your designs further.
Iterate
Iterate
and build upon your ideas. Iteration will help you identify problems
with your design early on in the process, which will make the entire
process more effective.
Be critical
Find
holes and gaps in your designs, and find ways to fix them or work
around them. A bug, glitch or mistake can end up being a feature, and
can take your project in a new exciting direction.
Be Receptive
Feedback
is important. Take what your audience has said on board. Listen to
feedback you are given, rethink how you have done things, and find a way
to improve their experience, which will improve the overall quality of
the final piece.
