A trained eye means having a sharp sense for what looks good and - more importantly - why. It’s about observing the details and understanding basic art principles i.e., color, perspective, scale, weight, light, and composition. Appreciating how things fit together.

In this digital age, we are constantly consuming and observing content through visuals, sound, and motion. It can and should inspire us.

Translating and applying those new ideas to our everyday design tasks is how we create improved and unique compositions in our work. For me, it shows up in UI Screens, 2D, 3D Motion design and Live action.

Observing those finer details, practicing fundamental art principles, and appreciating how these things fit together is key to building inspirational work that withstands 2024, and beyond.
