well for me professional means, they took it to a professional. Someone who understands the grid, color theory and design in general. Hence the word professional.

“professional” == not noob

:thumb:

When I classify something as professional, it usually has

a good, unified colour scheme. None of this “I’ll just make it this completely other colour because I don’t want to put too much thought into it”

predefined-settings-in-the-layer-styles-panel-not-used-in-photoshop (_shudders at thought of horrible bevels_)

every single small detail is thought about and tended too

doesn’t look too much like a template

some concept of orginality

more than a day spend in the design aspect of the development

…among other, smaller things
