Never settle on your first design idea

posted on March 2, 2018

Whatever you’re designing, never settle on the first idea you have. Draw 3 more sketches of the same feature. Duplicate the mockup you just did and try different layouts. Pick a few more typeface combinations and test them against your favorite choice.

Don’t go with too many ideas either. I usually find a good balance between 3 and 6 different concepts. Amazing things happen when you push yourself further.
