That is a fact that is universal. Simplicity with a few crisp details is all that's necessary. Great designs, Preston! Less is more. That is a fact that is universal.

I agree with all your points and I always try to follow them. For me the most important step is the "leave it alone": I often make substantial changes after a few days. Thanks for sharing these tips.

I'm currently studying proofreading and editing, and attention to detail is one of the core principals of this field - much of what you've written here regarding design carries across to writing, and the subsequent proofreading of said writing. The "Create, leave it for a time, then come back and review" is the best advice anyone could give, especially to someone creating something (design, writing, painting, etc.) I've been reading articles by you a lot lately thanks to retweets from a number of people across the community - yours is a voice deserving of the wide reach it's getting and I look forward to reading more by you in the future.

Thank you very much for sharing. Great article and really nice site too.

Giving attention to detail is what most of us lack when it comes to designing. One small flaw is enough to create a bad impression on your clients. As they say, "You are only as strong as your weakest link". Perfection is always a key for appreciation. Not only will your client be very impressed with your work, but you will be more than happy that you've improved from your previous design thus motivating you to do better. As you aptly put, getting feedback from fellow designers is one of the best ways to do this. Its like pouring your design through various filters and understanding what gets filtered, from different perspectives. I would like to add a point here, which I always try to practice - "Be a self-critic". Never compliment your own work, this will only compromise on the quality and improvement of your design. There is always a scope for improvement, so look deeper and try to find errors every time.I always quote - "If you want to catch a thief, Think like a thief". Analyse your work from the client's perspective. This will help you a lot. Hope that was helpful... :D Thank you so much for the article, Preston. Will surely share it with others.

More attention to detail = More professional. Leave it alone, then return to it, is really useful imo. Thanks for sharing all these tips. Couldn’t agree with you more.
