Sometimes you do design work that does everything that it's supposed to and you get paid and that's that.
But some work you work at it when you're done and have kind of more base, intuitive response to it where you know it really sings. Yet you couldn't define any particular elements of what is making it sing.

if you can't define what it is, someone can probably tell you what it isn't.

post it here, have people shit all over it really thoroughly, and if it still manages to hum a simple lullaby after all that, THEN you got something.

if you can't tell why it works then you probably shouldn't be a designer and you're probably just mindlessly shifting things around at random till it "feels right"- = designProjectile
