Although I agree with this article from web designer depot, I think most of this is already common knowledge for most designers. Details matter, and you have to be a perfectionist if you want your design to be great instead of just good. Most of us already know that. What I think is of more importance is further down in the article – talking about looking at things from a different angle. I don’t think you can be a great designer without being innovative in this day and age so I think coming up with concepts that are “outside the box” is what is separating the truly great designers. Also some good tips on how to train yourself to think in different and more creative ways.
