“Good design is the most important way to differentiate ourselves from our competitors.”

The Face Off: Good Design vs. Great Design

According to Kevin Barber from Lean Labs, this is the points you should look for when differentiating good design and great design.

How can you tell if a website is simply good or excellent?

Good design you can spot, break down, and document both what you like and how it was done.

Great design is almost invisible.

You barely notice the design itself. It's as if you were instantly engaged with the overall experience.

Good design generally elicits the following comments:

That's a cool homepage masthead!
Wow, you have neat navigation drop-downs.
I love that infographic!
The images on the team page are so cool.
Your landing page looks so good on mobile.
I love your blog layout - so easy to read!

Meanwhile, here's what your users will talk about when you employ great design in your marketing toolbox:

I totally get your brand's clear message!
I was looking at your site, but before I knew it, I downloaded an eBook.
How many years have you been refining this site?
I dig your company culture and how you treat your customers.
Your brand is like family to me!

In a nutshell, good design delights the user. Great design, however, is a step ahead of the former. It engages, converts, and forges a connection between your brand and users.

“Design’s fundamental role is problem solver.”

Design Thinking: How Designers Solve Problems According to Emilie Johnston from CloudApp, Designers have a unique way of seeing the world and that perspective can add some major value to the business. But a traditional task-oriented design mindset won't get you there. Here are some of the ways great designers innovate their way to the top. Make problem-solving the priority The colors, the creativity, the endless possibilities for how to make a product better, easier, sexier. Hands down, the BEST thing about design, is that it's fun. Really fun. The problem with it being fun, is that you could literally spend hours obsessing over fonts, and never solve a single problem for your users. Great designers relish the details, but never lose sight of the bigger picture. They know that while tools and tricks may come and go, the big picture is always the same: Solving a problem for your user. Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter which platform yo...

“Good design is lot like clear thinking made visual.”

Designers are the people who are either gifted or skilled when it comes to design. But I never said that it was an easy feat, but it isn’t. Thinking of an idea for their design is a necessity in the grind and it’s quite a struggle, believe it or not. Research and seeking for inspiration plays a major role in this process. Other problems and thoughts in mind can also be an obstacle for a good idea. That is why to have good design, the mind also be clear and when idea comes in, that’s the time it will be born to reality. So if you think that’s too much of a hassle or if you just can’t take that? We, designers, are the best at that.

“Thinking about design is hard, but not thinking about it can be disastrous.”

Thinking about design is probably one of the toughest challenges that a designer could face in his projects and perhaps even in his career. Despite these, we, designers, do our best to overcome this and not get swayed by analysis paralysis or in other words, get stuck in thinking. The worst part is not getting stuck but instead, it is not thinking about design that is truly horrific. I, as a designer, do my best to not get stuck in paralysis analysis nor in not thinking of any design whatsoever. It is important for me to be proactive rather than reactive to the situation. It’s quite the challenge but it is worth it.
