Depending on who you ask, every designer will have his own interpretation of what constitutes a successful graphic designer. Many associate success with monetary gains and personal wealth. Others attribute it to being the front runners of the design industry in terms of knowledge and experience.
1. Creating Unique Work
It really matters for graphic designers to stand out from the crowd. Creating unique drafts is the only way they can distinguish themselves from the rest. Granted there is some ego involved but it is no doubt a healthy one.
2. Always Keen To Learn More
The graphic design industry is always in a state of evolution with new tools and technologies emerging every week. Good designers stay fully aware of all developments taking place in the design world. It helps them stay up-to-date and keep their skills razor sharp.
3. Procrastination Not Allowed
Successful graphic designers never end up behind the eight ball. They never put things off for tomorrow. They keep tabs on their progress and make sure they never fall behind. Procrastination is one mistake no designer can afford to make if he wants to be succeed.
