My professor said my color palette looked 'like a hospital waiting room' last semester.

I was using way too much white and beige. Now I force myself to pick at least one bold color for every collection board. Anyone else get harsh feedback that actually helped?

My old boss said my designs looked like a sad beige computer from 1998, so I feel that.

That "sad beige computer" line is such a specific burn, ouch. I had a boss who said similar stuff. What worked for me was making three super colorful versions first, like way over the top, just to get the "make it pop" note out of their system. Then the fourth version, my actual good one, would look calm and professional by comparison, and they'd usually go for it. It's a dumb game, but it saves a lot of back-and-forth.
