There are many communities on Reddit that document people’s complicated relationship with the way they execute their ideas.

You've probably heard about the subreddits “Awful Taste But Great Execution” and “Awful Taste And Awful Execution,” and if not, please check out our previous features with great executions (here) and not so much (here).

But this time, we’re taking a more positive outlook towards how the visions and projects turn out and diving deep into the subreddit “Great Taste And Great Execution” (GTAGE).

Whether it’s a smart design, nicely made product packaging, or a cool piece of furniture, they all fall into this collection of reality meeting great expectations, if not surpassing them.

    Bored Panda spoke with Laura Vanagaite, an international freelance graphic designer who specializes in branding and social media content creation, to find out what it takes to go from a great idea to its great execution, and why it’s not that simple.

    Laura explained that bringing a design idea from vision to execution requires a combination of creativity, technical skills, and project management. “This includes defining the design brief and goals, researching and gathering information, prototyping, refining the design, and producing final assets,” she said.

    I like that it is a re-purposed trampoline base. And the chickens ascending into their ship are just so cute!

    According to the graphic designer, it also involves effective communication and collaboration with the team. “Effective project management skills, such as setting realistic deadlines, keeping to budget constraints, and continually testing and refining the design are also crucial for the successful execution of a design project.”

    Laura also said that poor execution can ruin even the best creative idea. “A great idea alone is not enough to guarantee success. It must be effectively executed to bring the idea to life and meet the intended purpose.”

    Moreover, poor execution can result in a final product that is not functional, aesthetically unpleasing, or fails to effectively communicate the intended message, Laura argues. “This can result in the idea being perceived as a failure. It is important to give equal attention to both the creativity and the execution in order to realize the full potential of a creative idea.”

    Having said that, Laura believes that both good ideas and good execution are important for the product's success. “A great idea without good execution can lead to a disappointing outcome, while a well-executed idea can still fall short if the original concept was not strong. A balance of both is essential for the best results when it comes to any type of creative project,” the graphic designer explained.

    Meanwhile, both bad ideas and poor executions can be common in design. Laura explained that a designer may have a great idea, but if they lack the skills or resources to execute it effectively, the final result may not meet their expectations.

    “On the other hand, a designer may have a solid execution plan, but if the original idea is not strong, the final result may not be successful. It is important to continually evaluate and improve both the creativity and execution of a design project to achieve the best results.”

    Let's be honest, he built it for himself. The kid is really young to know what a lamboghini is.

    We also asked Laura exactly how important it is to have good taste in art and design. “Good taste in design and creativity is the ability to create aesthetically pleasing, functional, and effective solutions that meet the needs and expectations of the intended audience.”

    Laura concluded that although it’s subjective, it’s still very important since “it helps establish credibility and communicate effectively, while still allowing room for innovation and risk-taking.”

    I once saw a lady making some like this in my woodturning group. It blew my mind then, and it blows my mind now. Two years later and I'm still struggling to finish my first egg cup.
