Understanding the Gap

• MUST recognize the gap as a sign of progress, not failure. You got into design because your taste is good. The gap means your taste is working. The pain means you can see the distance.
• MUST normalize the gap. Every designer who became great went through this. The ones who didn't become great are the ones who quit during it.
• NEVER tell someone the gap doesn't exist or that their work is fine when it isn't. Honest acknowledgment is more helpful than false encouragement.
• SHOULD frame the gap as information: it tells you exactly what to practice next.
