Hi All
I want to gather peoples opnions on how long certain design tasks should take you.
The reason why I have a burning deire to ask this question is because, I have recently been told I am no longer needed at one particular design company because i was taking to long to put togther designs for some interactive touch screens that I was designing in photoshop. The thing was there were several screens that I had to design all at once that made up the project, about 2 or 3 screen deigns to be done within just 2 days!!!
Which I think is a ridiculously short period of time to come up with a finished polished designs by. I mean before you even jump into photoshop and Illustrator, I need at least a day or two to sketch out on paper my thoughts, brainstorm, and do some online visual research into other companys/ websites that have a similar ''look and feel'' to the client that I am designing for, once I have this research/ inspration to hand, its only then that I will begin my design mock ups in photoshop/Illustrator.
So, I ask you all to comment please about how what is a good employable pace that I should be working to? I appreciate some design tasks will take longer than others depending on the size of the project, but I would particularly be intersted in how long should a logo or how long it should take to design some website page layouts in photoshop??
I ask this question because after being told what i was told, I am now very worried that I will never be quick enough despite my design talent to get things done in the time people expect them to be done by. :-(
