Design for Your Audience Not for Yourself

#sxsw #BeOriginal

With Dribbble, Forrst and other curated sites, the designer's attention has shifted focus to impressing his fellow peers and mimicking influences rather than who we should be focusing on: our audience. We're beginning to lose sight on delivering content in a meaningful way to the people who regularly traffic our sites.Design is beginning to look homogenous and more like a pattern of trends within the design community. Original design should be presented in a way that resonates with the audience and helps the designer grow without losing his own identity in the community.
