Why Good Design is Losing to Fast Design and How Graphic Designers Can Change Their Fate


Listen Later

Good design is losing.
Not by better design — but by faster, cheaper, half-assed garbage.
And the worst part? Clients are eating it up.

Welcome to the new reality where timelines matter more than talent, and “good enough” is winning over great. Designers are watching their best work get ignored while AI bots, Canva templates, and $5 Fiverr hacks get the green light.

And yeah, we might have been the ones to let this happen.

This week on The Angry Designer podcast, we rip into the real reason good design is losing to fast design and what graphic designers need to do to stay relevant in a world that values speed over skill.

In this episode we discuss:

- Why clients think fast = progress (and how to flip that on them)
- How designers became their own worst enemy
- A better way to deliver work without compromising quality
- The process tweak that keeps clients off Canva and on your side

If you're sick of watching garbage design win just because it's quick, this episode gives you the tools to fight back and win the long game.
