ORIENTATION

In my view, a successful designer relies not just on skill and creativity, but also on understanding how to effectively communicate and guide the audience's perception—in essence, knowing how to 'psychologically manipulate' the recipient to ensure the message is delivered most effectively through the final product.

To achieve this, one must possess empathy and the ability to actively listen. Crucially, you must genuinely love your work, your colleagues, and your clients. When you have passion for something, you gain the determination and drive to excel, leading to results that often exceed expectations.

Furthermore, I believe that if you truly want to "Think outside the box," you must first fundamentally understand what that "box" is.
