Design as we know it is kind of over. 90% of it can be automated on a 6/10 level, which is roughly what mid-level designers would do (for money). Now this can just happen at a fraction of the cost.
So what's left? Quite a lot actually. This is not a DOOMER video, this is what we are doing and other smart people around me. When life gives you cheaper lemons, go farm diamonds or something.
This is where I think the value is now for both B2C products/apps and larger B2B serious projects. There's a MUCH bigger need for good designers now for businesses and I give it 6 more months until a lot of them start realizing that.
You can learn what to do and how from just this video, or explore more from our materials, your pick.
