Last night, the mentorship program I've been a part of for the last 7 weeks officially drew to an end. The Good Creatives is a program that trained non-design graduates with branding strategies (and generally graphic design) that aims to bridge the gap between their current skill level and the industry-standard skill set needed for them (us) to thrive in the field. We were taught, so to speak, the science behind the designs. It was also last night that we had guest designers to give the mentees insights on our final branding presentation. These are designers who had been in the field for 10+ years! It was such a nerve-racking night, but definitely fulfilling and eye-opening to hear them. One of the questions I asked of the mentors, after the presentations, was how exactly do people get to train their eye for design. Personally, I find this to still be a puzzle for me because even though I can validate a work's aesthetic value, I can't seem to create good design
