Speed vs detail
So I’ve been working as a Digital Marketing Associate at my work for the last few months and overall I like my job. However my co-worker isn’t the easiest person to get along with at times. That’s a whole rant in of itself but they said something to me that I want to objectively consider.
I’m working in photoshop to make social media promotions for our Memorial Day sale. She sees this and says that ‘that’s a waste of time. Just get on Canvas like me and use the templates.’
Now it could be that I’ve worked in photoshop for a long time so I’m just more comfortable in it. But they are, objectively, correct in that Canvas templates are faster. But I think that it also is somewhat unoriginal. But am I planting my flag on the wrong hill here? Should I argue for being precise at the cost of speed? Or should I prioritize that over originality?
