  • r/Autos - Who else agrees this should have been the "modern Ferrari" design language? This paired with a flat-plane V8 would be insane. Not a photoshop master but I did my best. To me, it's ironic that modern Ferraris lack passion in design.

TLDR at the bottom. Kind of a long rant. For context, I just got started in a design agency.


Just graduated and got my first full time job, it's going real bad. I've always been slow at design and thought I'd get faster, but I'm not. When it comes to layout or coming up with ideas, I take several hours to lay something out; I just move elements around the screen, decide it looks bad, and keep rearranging. For hours. It's gotten so bad at work that the other designers have to hop in and essentially do assignments for me, I eventually finish past the due date and my work still doesn't compare to the other designers.


Designing in college was a similar situation, I stayed up pretty late working on assignments but so did all my classmates so I figured it was a relatively normal obstacle that would improve over time as I slogged away with designing for school and work (which I did work alongside school during the entirety of my college years).


Perusing Pinterest and IG for inspiration help a bit, but not much. I'm worried I'll get fired soon if this keeps up. I've already been warned once to speed things up and that I was logging crazy hours on assignments that didn't require so much time.


As if this wasn't bad enough, I have a horrible eye for proof-reading. A lot of my designs are given back to me with simple errors, a mis-spelled word here, a letter missing there, something is the wrong color, etc. These errors are caught by the art director (and one time the printer). I've been trying harder to proof-check all my designs but it seems no matter what, there's always some element I missed. I submit my designs to my director and have it passed back with annotations about at least a half dozen times for every assignment and that only adds to my slow turnaround time. Is this normal for you guys to be passing designs back and forth with your supervisor so many times before it's ready to be sent out to the client?


As sort of a cherry on top, I'm not crazy about design at this point. I'm sort of dying inside at work because I have no passion for what I do, but thinking about it just makes me lose focus and the clock is always ticking and I'm far too slow to keep up. I'm not sure if this is just part of getting used to full-time work (I only just started full-time about a month ago), but I'm considering getting tested for ADD or something similar.


Any thoughts on this from other designers who may or may not have experienced these issues is appreciated


TLDR: After graduating and starting work full-time in a design agency, my inability to design quickly is taking a toll at work, leading to warnings from my supervisors. I take way too long to lay out designs, and they never look good in the end. I also keep getting my work sent back with notes on how to improve it. Not sure if this is burnout (I've been working design jobs all throughout my college years), but I think I need advice on how to go about drastically improving
