Lesson 6 of 7

A basic understanding of design isn’t just important for your work with designers.

If you’ll be working with vendors who require design assets or other team members who frequently work with designers, you need to understand the language they use—and the concepts behind that language—to understand their requests, send them the proper assets, and effectively communicate their needs back and forth with your designer.
