A Recipe for Bad Design – Why Social Media Hacks Are Killing Your Creativity

We live in a world where TikTok and Instagram reels are teaching designers how to shortcut their way through creativity. But let’s be real – following so-called ‘design recipes’ does nothing but turn you into a copycat.

In this episode of The Angry Designer podcast, we rip apart the dangerous trend of social media design hacks and formulas, showing why they kill true creativity.

We’re here to help frustrated designers break free from the cookie-cutter mold and actually think for themselves. Forget the ‘one-size-fits-all’ formulas – this episode is all about learning how to develop your own creative instincts, trust your gut, and build a design process that’s uniquely yours.

Tune in as we walk through:

  • Why following design recipes is holding you back
  • The difference between design education and technical tricks
  • How The Angry Designer helps you build confidence by thinking critically and creating your own solutions

We’re not here to give you shortcuts – we’re here to help you grow into the badass, independent designer you’re meant to be.
