5 designing principals

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Bokardo.com is presenting an article about the 5 designing principals. I will just publish the points I think are the most important, but I advise you to go to their web page to read the entire article.

Technology helping mankind
Keep in mind all the time that you job as a designer is to make the client’s life easier, avoiding any type of frustration. Remember this when you’re about to do a new design or any of it’s applications.

A design is not art
I think this is a little polemic, because many people really think that a design is art… and other not. As far as i’m concerned, I agree with what Bokardo.com states, because since art is a personal expression that is about life and emotions, it’s up to the individuals appreciation to consider it art or not.

As time goes by more and more attorneys and legal firms are interested in having a good Logo for their firms. This Logo will define the sense of trust of the firm, the personality and the security that they can bring to the client. This is why we should have special considerations and certain criteria when it comes to this designs.

The Color:

Online Logos

Monday, September 17th, 2007

I think every designer has gone through this experience.

When the client asks for a specific design and he/she doesn’t have a Vectorized Logo, and the only thing the client carries is the presentation card, which includes his/her logo or any other symbol from his/her company and we’re supposed to start from that little logo. We first have to scan the image and then we have to vectorize it, trying not to lose the colors of the original design.

Luckyly for us, technology is always improving, and online we have many pages that have this type of files to our disposition.
