Couldn’t agree more I think these tips are right on the mark to keep original ideas within ones work. Originality is very important in a world of cookie cutter template graphic design and there is a lot out there for sure. Good design is about an individuals interpretation and presentation of a piece of work not follow a piece that worked for someone else.

I’m just a blogger, not a designer, but I always use my own pictures and I find it really set a blog apart. I’m also a photographer so I guess it’s easier for me but I can’t stress it enough: pay attention to the pictures on your website, whether you are using or own or buying them. Users do notice.

And don’t forget to respect photographers’ copyright

Hi Tom,
just a few days ago i “jumped into the cold water” and began my career as a free graphics designer. So the encouragement i took from your article is very helpful and helped me to get rid of some feelings of being afraid.
So thank you very much!

With kind regards
Holger
