Re:Ask HN: You favorite (not so popular) quote? on Sunday July 12, 2020 @12:58PM (#23812762)

When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.

I am not asking if you go to the gym or do yoga. I am asking if you use specific programs or training systems that help you to be consistent.

There is probably a group of people with that sense of aesthetics and the will like it. If you are presenting a few versions of the logo they will probably choose the one that you like the less. Sad but true.

Learn about typography, composition, contrast, colors. Do tutorials and then modify them and experiment. Try to copy the best then you will see even coping in not that easy and you will learn a lot.

Share your work online and ask for opinions.

And the most important is to play and have fun with it.

Remember that interviews are also castings for new teammates so present yourself as a person they would like to spend time with. So asking people that you will be probably working closely with about their hobbies and interests is a good way to find connection with them.
