Graphic designer doesn't have imagination

I always face one problem—I struggle to imagine things

I find it more useful to have a near encyclopedic knowledge of what has been done well by others and look at ways of reworking this for my customers.

You will probably find that there are precious few original ideas any more and that everything is a re-imagining of something else.

By working on the "find what works well and tune it for the specific application" and making it a less obvious copy then you can point out similar ideas that were successful which is why you think your version will work well too.

Just a thought

Yeah, I do it every day—copy-pasting with a few changes—but I don’t really understand what I’m doing. I keep wondering why I’m even here. Lol.

After wasting hours, I go back and finish the projects. If my mom didn’t create stressful situations about work, I think I’d actually be great in management..

Management doesn't require imaginative skills.. It requires analytic skills

Oh I don't know - I've had pleny of situations where one of my team came to me with a problem and said "you're the boss, you work out how to deal with it".

I would then have to sit down with them and go through the problem step by step and try to work out why they were behaving that way - was it a genuinely unsolvable problem, were they just overworked and near the end of their tether or were they unhappy with me and trying to make it my problem.

It takes imagination to try to work out their mind at this stage (especially hard for an autist like me) and try to find a way to get them to find a way through it (thus building their confidence) and help them grow their skill set from the experience.

There are so many vairables to take into account that you need to get creative as well as analytical.

Yes I know.. I love solving problems.. In fact I have been in the work system since I was young.. I grew up in a work environment more than a family environment.. For example, solving problems is my talent and encouraging team members I was a manager before.. But design needs to satisfy tastes and attract the target audience.. It's as if you are selling content, and an image.. It's exhausting just thinking about it lol.. But being a manager or a teacher who is more specialized, I found myself in those two sectors
