Why Creative Freedom is a Graphic Designers Kryptonite—And How to Actually Unlock Your Design Genius
Graphic designers love to complain about brand guidelines, tight budgets, and impossible client restrictions—but what if those so-called limitations are actually the secret weapon to better design?
That’s right—constraints don’t kill creativity; they fuel it. The best designers, the best agencies, and even the biggest tech disruptors in the world all use limitations to push boundaries, innovate, and create legendary work.
In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we dive into:
- Why unlimited options kill creativity instead of enhancing it
- How designers can leverage constraints to produce their best work
- 8 game-changing ways to impose artificial limitations that force next-level thinking

So whether you’re sick of project restrictions or just looking for a creative edge, this episode will flip your perspective on what’s actually holding you back (spoiler: it’s not the client).
