Onur Cobanli explains:
The most talented and recognized designers will often face significant criticism alongside their fame, name, awards and accolades. This increased scrutiny is not just a testament to the visibility of the highly esteemed designers, artists and architects but unfortunately sometimes also a reflection of envy and competition within the design, art and architecture communities. Successful designers gain recognition but also jealous critiques. Imperfect people often target those nearing perfection. The most skilled designers encounter the strongest criticism and the most talented, cultured designers frequently face the harshest of criticisms. You can do this: Ignore most critiques, make better design and get compliments, thrive on compliments while ignoring most of the critiques and just repeat to rise more and more. Understanding this dynamic is crucial; it is a part of the journey and a sign of significant impact in the field.
