I sent this artwork of mine to mom to see if she likes it.. We wanted to start a cooking channel while I’m home. Remember the Bak Kwa video we made? It has successfully garnered 41k viewing as to date on YouTube. We had lots of fun even though the editing process can be quite dreadful at times.
👩🏻🦳 She said “nice!”
🧜🏼♀️ I asked, “guess how long I took to make this?”
👩🏻🦳 “Not sure..” (continue to make watermelon juice for us..)
🧜🏼♀️ “I started working on this after our lunch.. that’s like 5-6 hours)..”
👩🏻🦳 “Wow! Normal people like me would have thought it’s less than 30 mins.. 😂”
🧜🏼♀️ “I know right..”
But re-make (copying) this design would take much shorter time.
What’s time consuming about design is when..
1. I need to create a personalized avatar before I can start my design, that’s 3 of them
2. I need to play with different font n colors
3. I need to play with different layout
4. I need to think of a design concept
5. I need to think what details needed to fill this artwork
6. I need to check alignment
7. I need to search for vectors n clip art and remove all backgrounds so I can use in my artwork ( it’s not easy to get preferred vector in high res )
8. I need to do some research of how a cooking artwork should look like
9. I need to think of a title in English and Chinese
10. I need to translate n double check if it’s the right character (can’t rely on google translate 100%)
11. And finally... need to search back my old food photo to add in the artwork.. (for sample template)
So you see, artwork design cannot be instant at all. It’s not like photocopy. It’s a new creation of design n new concept fresh from the head.
And you know why designers can’t owned a gun? CUSTOMERS will be all dead! 🤣
Most of the times customer also duno what they want when they ask u to design. And that’s also the reason why, for basic package, ONLY 3 AMENDMENTS ARE ALLOWED! If we don’t set this rules, customers will change 100x until cows come home.. eh no, migrate to space is more like it!
