It is inevitable when designing to favor some projects over others. Sometimes the work flows like a beautiful song, effortless, with every piece fitting right into place. These are the projects that get the blood flowing and the inspiration growing. These are the ones that remind the designer why he does what he does.
But then there are the stubborn designs. The designs that never seem to look quite right, never feel the way they should. They frustrate and depress, and leave the designer wondering why he ever took up a vocation that makes him miserable. It's a sure-fire case of designer's block.
The truth is, anything can be great. Any design can be art. As soon as a design fails to inspire, that's exactly when the designer needs to rethink the vision. It might be a simple twist. It might be a complete overhaul of the project. Whatever needs to be done must be done, both for the design and the designer himself. If there is no passion, there will be no greatness.
