Thank you, you put it really well. I've been ignorant about it for a very long time. I guess in a way I felt graphic design was easier because I could see every element that I was using, and I didn't think too much about how important it is to know a lot about those elements, like typography, colors, negative space, etc.

I've been making this mistake for years, but I'm trying to correct it. As you said, making an enjoyable process out of it is my best bet at learning graphic design properly.

Cheers!
