Reflection on practice
Don't assume and be careful
Something key to always remember when working on a prompt for a client is don't assume anything. It's always best to get clarifications to have a clear understanding of what they're asking from you. This way, you don't get stuck in your own perception of things and make irrational decisions. This is also my reason of why I value communication so much, it's because by sharing my progress work, explaining why I did things this certain way, and receiving feedback replaces my uncertainties with confidence, and I'm able to move forward with my design.
Don't be rigid in your composition
I learned to not limit myself by boxing all contents in, especially for designs that are meant to be full of movement and energy. I wanted to have all the information to be clear and readable, and I thought the way to do this was boxing everything, but information can still be readable without having to box things in. Bringing in some variation can really make a difference to your composition (and still be readable), you just have to keep experimenting and think outside the, well, box.
