Stagnation is one thing that stifles most artists and designers when they’ve reached their plateau. It happens when they rely too much on their comfort zone that it simply stops them from improving, learning, and exploring new techniques and styles. Obviously this causes them to lag behind current changes especially in the fast-paced world of graphic and web design.

This can threaten one’s career. Why? Because the field changes so rapidly that today’s design can be obsolete tomorrow, literally. So if you’re a graphic designer, you always have to be open to changes and embrace the latest trends. Don’t limit yourself with what you already know, and if you’ve found your comfort zone, then strive to learn new designs and techniques, improve your style continuously and push yourself out of that zone.

This is what web designer Tom Ross argues against popular belief, that designers should never find their style. It could backfire later on in their careers. So to prevent it, here are useful tips on how to improve and become a better designer and could save them for a major professional and creative setback.
