Taste is a learnable design skill that distinguishes exceptional designers; develop it by studying effective work, practicing, and refining typography, layout, and color choices.
Taste gives you vision. It's the lens through which you decide what matters, and just as importantly, what doesn't. Without taste, design drifts into decoration or efficiency for efficiency's sake. Devoid of feeling. With taste, you can see a brand clearly before it even exists, and then pull every detail into alignment. Experience, on the other hand, is efficiency. It helps you ship faster, avoid mistakes, and manage the moving parts of projects. That's valuable-but it doesn't set direction.
