Most people only see the complete product and miss out on all the effort and ingenuity to create something truly captivating. According to experts, the process of designing something takes a lot of research, trial and error, and even some bit of psychology.
Designers have to know when to take a step back and see if their idea was as good as they imagined and rethink their plan if it's not working out. That can get quite frustrating at times.
That is why designers have to learn to have fun with their creations.
The relaxed attitude helps as it encourages creativity and experimentation, which is necessary to create something especially outstanding.
Designers have to understand that they don't get paid for their time but their unique insight and years of experience. Experience can help an expert create something in a lot less time, which helps in this profession.

Many designers, fortunately, have some ideas on how to make their designs look like masterpieces. Dieter Rams, a revered German designer, came up with the "10 commandments" that many designers use to perfect their creations.
The commandments explain that a design has to be innovative, make the product useful, appealing, easy to understand, honest, durable, thorough, unobtrusive, and environmentally friendly. Strangely, Rams also includes the rule that the design has to involve as little design as possible.
Essentially, good designs represent a good balance of function, form, and fun. Therefore, the user should not struggle too hard to figure out why the design is so effective.
So, unlike what some people think, aesthetics are not all that a good design needs. An effective design also communicates effectively while also pushing boundaries and solving problems.
In other words, the best designs should be simple but significant.
