Are You A Preset Pusher!
So many times I’ve seen the same effect over and over and over in youtube videos and the like. If your an After Effects artist or Photoshop user design your own presets. Your job as a designer is to be original and when you go and use presets it becomes a carbon copy of another designers work. Hey don’t get me wrong it’s such an easy thing to do. You go online and you find some amazing preset and say to yourself “My work would totally look amazing if I use this preset.” Here’s the catch with that way of thinking. Your work starts to look like another designers and that’s a bad thing. Why not deconstruct the effect you just saw and learn from it. Create your own original effects presets and use them in your design. When you create your own effects your learning more about the applications your using and you become a better designer.
