Connecting and Communicating
Visuals are everywhere, from the apps on your phone to the posters on the street. It’s not just about making things look pretty;It’s about using clever strategies to solve problems and connect with people, or creating visuals that are easy to use. Let’s take a look at how designers like me think and why it’s so important for your business.
Designers are problem solvers. Imagine you want to show everyone that they belong to a club. Designers use colors, shapes, and (moving) images to make people feel like they belong and are part of something bigger, which sends a message. This mindset is about solving the communication puzzle so that everyone feels included.

When people see a design, they react differently. Some designs make us happy, others make us sad or angry, in any case it tells a story, with a message. Designers work hard to choose the right colors and images to create these emotions. This is important because our feelings can influence our next actions, for example: For example, joining a club or buying a product.
How can designers make sure their work has real meaning? They focus on the purpose of each decision. For example, if a designer is designing a poster for a campaign, the designer will choose colors and images that fit the theme of the topic. So every design has meaning and speaks to the audience.
Thinking like a designer is about more than just making things pretty; it’s about reaching people, making a difference, and delivering a message. By solving problems, evoking emotions, and acting with purpose, designers can improve their work and make it more meaningful. So the next time you see a poster or an app, think about the smart choices designers made to reach you.
