These are my 10 rules that i live by when it comes to design
1. KEEP IT SIMPLE
I can't stress enough that simplicity is your friend
2. CRITISISM
It will be there for you. You can't ignore it so learn to accept it and improve
3. YOUR WORK
It's ok if you don't like all of your work. Keep creating, keep improving
4. FUNCTIONALITY
Design something to be functional not pretty. Beauty comes in the end
5. DETAILS MATTER
Not everyone will notice them but design correctly for those who will
6. BE A SPONGE
Learn as much as you can. Knowledge is your friend
7. WHITE SPACE
It is as important as the rest of your design . Let your viewers breathe
8. TYPEFACES
Some designers say use up to 3 typefaces but i say use 2 if you're not sure
9. ABOUT TEXT
Almost always use left aligned text. it's easier for most people to read.
10. BREAKS
When you think you're done with a project, take a break and come back to it. You'll find a lot of things to fix
