August 13 is International Left-handedness Day, a date to celebrate the uniqueness and talent of left-handed people.. Although left-handers face constant challenges in a world made for right-handers, they develop a unique visual and technical approach that enriches the creative world. The world is designed for right-handers. This means living at a constant disadvantage and learning to deal with it in the most creative way possible. 1. The challenge of creating against the grain. From graphics tablets with buttons on the "wrong" side to notebooks that force you to cover yourself in ink, the life of the left-handed designer is full of daily adjustments. These challenges are not just obstacles: they become catalysts for creative solutions that change processes and outcomes, driving innovation. 2. Adaptations that inspire In graphic design, adapting tools and methods for left-handers involves rethinking the ergonomics and functionality of each element: - Reversing shortcuts in software to make functions more accessible. - Customize the interface so that everything is "on the left". - Choosing fonts and stroke techniques that reduce hand rubbing and avoid smudges.
