Flying can be—correction—is a stressful ordeal.

However, those are things that someone who is genuinely interested in learning design can overcome fairly quickly and with what might seem like general ease. Here, we’ll tackle faults that tend to separate an inexperienced designer from an experienced one, and how changing your approach to design can help you become more like the latter.
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat...the list goes on. One of the best ways to stand out on social media is to have consistently stellar photographs. The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” has never been more true when it comes to social media, especially regarding sites with limited character usage.
