I am graphic design
challenged.
I know what good design is
but I don’t have
the patience or the interest
or the natural talent
to create it.
Social media is graphics heavy
now.
Having a great image
is key
for success.
It is essential
for looking
professional.
“Graphic design represents
an emotional commitment
to the work.
Long before
we read the words
or understand the images,
we see the layout.
Kerning
and color
and weight
and form
arrive in our brains
before we have decided
what the words
on the page
actually mean.
You wouldn’t wear
a clown suit
to a job interview,
and yet people dress up
their ideas
in clown suits
all the time.”
Thankfully,
there are programs
that can help
the graphic design challenged.
Those in the book community
have industry specific
tools
like Book Brush.
I suspect
there might be similar
tools
in your industry.
Graphic design
is important.
Figure out how
to craft great images.
