Design motif is a very important step in the creation of a product, especially if you are making it for someone else. The design motif can be something as simple as a logo or as complex as an entire website. It is essential to have a good idea of what your design motif should be, before you start working on your project. You can download beautiful templates from this https://masterbundles.com site. I think that if you don't have a good idea for your design motif, then you will never be able to create something original and unique with your product, because all other companies will have already done all these things before you.
