A Reddit thread in r/GraphicDesign showcases graphic designers sharing their candid hot takes on design practices and social media. Common themes arise, including criticism of design influencers who prioritize aesthetics over purpose. Users suggest that successful designers are often too busy for social media postings. Additionally, opinions on fonts, particularly Comic Sans, reveal a nuanced understanding, with some defending its use in appropriate contexts. The discussion highlights the tension between traditional design standards and evolving contemporary practices, emphasizing the subjective nature of design interpretation.
"You don't need a style, clients aren't really that annoying, and design influencers on social media aren't working from a brief so don't compare your work to theirs."
"The most 'liked' and 'successful' designers on social media are the least successful in real life. Real busy successful people don't have time to make trendy posts/reels every day."
