What do you think about my idea (a service to improve design skill) ?

Problem: When learning autodidact design, it is difficult to get value-able feedback to improve skills.

It can be graphic design for business (icon, logo, brochure etc), and also web design (UI, UX).

Solution: service academy to improve design skills by satisfying fake clients.

How it works: 1) Get a fake client brief, 2) make a design based on the brief, and then 3) send the design. After sending your design, you will get:

  • Scores and feedback from design experts

  • Gifts and opportunities to get prizes

This is a monthly subscription service so you are more committed to completing your monthly design. The goal is that you will learn more to design and to face clients.

What do you think about my idea ?

If you interested with my idea you should join here to get first try on the next week. (So far 9 peoples have subscribed. I limit this to 20 peoples because of the limit of design experts.) Hurry up!

    Good idea. I think you could also complement this with a course (or even brief lessons) where you actually teach all those things that are not usually learned when you're an autodidact. So the review part will be like the final test on each level.

    I taught design related subjects at university level for years, so I know this is one of the most common challenges for people trying to learn design.

      Hi, thankyou!

      Brief lessons sounds be good! Thanks for your suggestion. Btw, may I send you a private message ? I have many questions.

    Its nice. But if you can develop an automatic software (AI) that can generate nice designs it would be better. My reason is that, for any design, much depends on the product you are designing than on the UX/UI only. For example, a website designed for blind people should look different from a website designed for learning programming.

      Hi, thankyou!

      AI is great but I think human expert should be perfect.

      Every design expert (real human) would receive the design brief so they can give feedback and score based on the design brief.

    Honestly i like it!

    Few questions:

    1. How would you rate sent design? AI or specialists?

    2. When i create design and send to 'fake client' are all rights are mine or you get all rights to use it commercially?

      Hi, thankyou :)

      1. Design expert would rate the design and give feedbacks.

      2. All rights belong to the designer. We just use it only for assessment by our design experts.
