Never say these to a designer! Pt. 1 ❌

🟥 I have seen this design somewhere… but can’t recollect where

🟥 The client will reject this, I know him very well

🟥 The white is not bright enough; can we use a brighter color?

🟥 I have shared some references, the layout should be exactly like that, yet look different

🟥 Something is missing in this design but I don’t know what

🟥 There is too much negative space, can you put something there?

🟥 I need the design tomorrow morning, will brief you by end of day
