by Abinash Mohanty | Last updated on January 10, 2020

I believe, a designer should always maintain a weblog, journal, diary, or even a blog to come up with design ideas, things that you have learned, or a set of design rules/guidelines to help other designers to grow.

My name is Abinash Mohanty, and I’m also a design blogger from India. You know what…most of the designers think the other designer is way better when it comes to things like design thinking, project planning, writing a case study, or even taking ownerships.

But the real truth is there is no shortcut to success being a designer.

To be different, one has to study, observe, learn and practice something more than what others do.

So here is my little story… [Read more…] about Why Designers Should Start a Blog

In my last post…. I shared how to utilize your smartphone?on LinkedIn. I also shared some of the apps that can increase your productivity. If you’re a designer, you better need to check what’s trending. That can only happen if you keep following some of the feeds, particularly on design, from some of the popular sources.

My friend, @Saikat asked me a question, “How do we prioritize what to read and what to leave.” And that’s how I came up with this post.

In this post, I’ll show you one of my secrets; how to spend not more than 10 mins using Feedly reader along with its companion pocket or readability app to get the most out it.

linkedin image upload

As a Linkedin power user, have you ever realized what happens to your image dimension when you upload via Linkedin status update? It doesn’t fit well with its image placeholder, does it?

LinkedIn Corporation (NYSE: LNKD), the world’s largest professional network on the Internet, with more than 300 million members, reported its quarterly results for the third quarter of 2014. – Source

I always post professional visual quotes on Linkedin such as entrepreneurship, design thinking, user experience, infographic, design education, personal growth, etc.

Street photography using mobile phones

One of the common problems being a designer that you face every single day is “Time Management,” don’t you? Some of them start & end up with “I don’t have time for this,” “I used to sketch or paint,” or “I used to do food photography before getting into this business/job.”

So why does it happen & why is it so common especially with designers?

If Design is about “Problem Solving” then why can’t we solve our own problems, right! Why is it so difficult for us to retain what we used to do for passion rather than just achieving goals? Moreover, you miss them when you look back.
