A lot of time has been wasted procrastinating and working up creative ideologies to meet the expectations of their clients. A designer cannot work without knowing the requirements of their clients. Hence, they need to be good listeners and keep note of all that they need to know based on their client’s designing project. They need to concentrate and focus on what really matters to them and then carry out their work accordingly.

That will only cause the designer to lose hope in the project and will thus be carried out in the wrong way.

If you believe that you have what it takes, then follow your passion and battle through the odds of pessimism and rise up to achieve and make it big in the designing industry.
Always remember- “Everybody makes mistakes. Only wise people tend

    Through the imprinting into popular culture, the idea of the football field has entered the American lexicon to no longer solely represent where one of the more popular sports in the United States is played. The idea of the football field, a 120-yard (360 feet) by 53-yard (160 feet) space has come to represent a unit of comparable scale. Grady Clay describes it as a ‘universal yardstick for describing complex environments,' and provides examples where it has been referenced to in many different scenarios. As architects, the sizing and scale of space or construct are hard to imagine from units of measurement alone for those not well versed in the field. In the American culture, we have developed comparisons to other objects to make the contrast easier to picture, such as using the size of a bus, the height of a notable building, or from this discussion the size of a football field.…
