We need to know what the changes are about. Then you can learn how to afford these. Sometimes, it's just a small detail that vanishes, while other times, you need to reorganize everything. It all depends on the specifics of your target and the type of "graphic language" you are using. Besides that, you may need to plan a different grid or go from realistic to abstract. It all depends on the language you are creating and the impact you want to achieve.

There's usually a good reason for a pivot, as much as it can throw a wrench into your current work. I always think of pivots as a reason to critically look at what I've done so far and what I can use with the pivot, and what wasn't working to begin with. As frustrating as it can be, always look at it as a learning moment.

When facing sudden changes, I: 1. Stay open-minded: Understand the reasons behind the shift. 2. Ask questions: Clarify the specifics of the new direction. 3. Adjust my workflow: Re-prioritize tasks based on the changes. 4. Communicate openly: Let my manager know how it affects the timeline.

When faced with sudden design changes from my manager, I stay flexible and open-minded. I prioritize understanding the reasoning behind the changes and how they align with the project goals. Then, I quickly assess how the updates impact the timeline and workload, communicating any necessary adjustments to the team. My focus is always on delivering quality work while ensuring the project remains on track.
