Common Mistakes in Logo Design

Start designing without any creative brief The briefing exists to help designers know what they need to design, and how they need to design it. However, it also has a key role in defining the designer-client relationship. Without it, designers would be overwhelmed by the amount of design freedom, and clients would not know what to expect from the project, or how far can they go in making requests to the designer. Here’s were I get serious about briefings, and I genuinely mean it. Working without a briefing on client work is a recipe for disaster. If you want to design high quality logos and compete on a professional level, you must have a briefing for each project. Designing for yourself Design can easily become a highly personal and passionate experience, so knowing for whom a logo is being created can be a hard lesson to learn, and that’s not a challenge just for designers, more often than not, clients are also guilty of analyzing a design based on their personal tastes rat...

Responsive web design is a great solution to our multi-screen problem, but getting into it from the print perspective is difficult. No fixed page size, no millimetres or inches, no physical constraints to fight against. Designing in pixels for Desktop and Mobile only is also the past, as more and more gadgets can open up a website. Therefore, let's clarify some basic principles of responsive web design here to embrace the fluid web, instead of fighting it. To keep it simple we'll focus on layouts (yes, responsive goes way deeper than that and if you want to learn more this is a good start ). Responsive vs Adaptive web design It might seem the same but it isn't. Both approaches complement each other, so there is no right or wrong way to do it. Let the content decide.

-

Image
Which came first the chicken or the egg? To be or not to be?  Nature  versus Nurture? Can we finally put this age old argument to rest and come to a conclusion. Leadership: “Exercising of influence over others on behalf of the leader's purposes, aims or goals. “ Leaders are born not made: Great Man theory and Trait theories believe that  people inherit certain qualities and traits  that make them better suited to leadership. To suggest that leaders do not enter the world with extraordinary endowment is to imply that people enter the world with equal abilities, with equal talents.” (Thomas Carlyle 1840) There are certain inborn characteristics that predispose people to be and become leaders. There is a significant difference between  “learning a skill” and mastering one , in the same way that others are born with amazing musical gifts or athletic talents.
