Designer Cheat Sheet
Use this cheat sheet to decipher what your designers are really saying
Let’s evolve the brand = Your logo sucks
Is this all we have to work with? = I have no idea what you want me to do
This is unsophisticated = It’s ugly
We should follow existing design patterns = This works weird
Let’s make it more minimal = It’s hopelessly cluttered
Design isn’t just about making things look pretty = Prettiness can’t save it
Design is iterative = I put this together last minute
This is on-trend = I saw this on dribbble and I liked it
That might work but… = That won’t work
We can test it with users = I’m right but you’re stubborn
