About your Experience with design:

Well, I’m glad that this spot actually exists in this interview because there are many things that I want to talk about.
I started back in the summer of 2007 by creating websites (design and coding). Then was the very first time when I met Adobe Photoshop and that was the beginning.
Since May of this year (2011), I was more into web development. I joined to a big crowd source community in May and I met there the guy who will bring me to the next level. He made the designer who I am now.
He is an old friend of 92pixels. Adrian Nita has always seen more that I was seeing in me. I learned valuable lessons from him. For example, how to active my own style and focus my energy on bringing the idea in front of the visual effects.
In conclusion, I’m in the field from few years and more involved from half year now.

Logo and user interface and experience design.

Do you have a particular process you go through for each design?

My steps for logo design are:

4. Based on my client feedback I focus on one partiular concept and stick with it until the client is satisfied

Minimalistic / Retro, focusing on creativity.

It was back in 2007 and I had to design a website for a plant-based pharmaceutical local business.

I have some ongoing projects with a friend of mine but unfortunately I can’t talk more about this particular project.
My main goal is to achieve better I could a retro style in my designs.

Your expert areas:

Logo and UI/UX design.

Your tools of work:

I always felt great working with Adobe products. I use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop as software, a pencil and a paper and a drawing tablet.

Who or what is your biggest inspiration for graphic design?

Well, many things are a source of inspiration for me. For example the environment is my second engine. I would like to mention in this section other professionals who are rolle models for me.
Here they are:
- Adrian Nita (Logo Design)
- Sean Farrell (Logo Design)
- Costica Emi (Logo Design)
- Emir Ayouni (Logo Design)
- Richard Tabor (User Interface Design)
So, they are the big five who influence my work.

What advice would you give to other designers?

Do never forget that your mood, personality and feelings will be reflected in your work. If something doesn’t go in the direction you want, just leave it. Go outside, take a walk and stay creative.

Why Logo Designing is Important for Building Brand of a Company?

Arslan — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:04:54 +0000

Many entrepreneurs are often in a state of confusion while deciding about a good logo. How to determine if a logo is up to the standard required? What are the characteristics of a good logo? How will a logo influence the image of the brand? These are some of the questions that a modern day entrepreneur faces. A logo is a representation which succeeds in enhancing the image of an organization. It also helps in establishing the brand in the market.

It is important to know that, people find it easier to associate with a logo. An exquisite logo can definitely form a lasting impression on the mind of viewers. Thus, a logo assists in successfully setting up a brand amongst the masses. One of the chief marketing tactics employed by a company today is to create a good logo. It is first and foremost thing done while planning a marketing campaign for a newly established company.

There are certain characteristics a good logo must possess to strike a chord with the masses.

The aim of the company plays a huge part in determining the logo of the company. Different types of organizations seek different types of logos. The logo designed for a company must be compatible with its aim.
The function of a company comes in next. To which audience does the company make itself available? What are the products of the company? These questions also play a significant part in determining a logo. A logo being the identity of the company must signify its products.
The ethics and principles of a company also play a big part. Many logo designs of successful companies today are based on their values.
It is a wrong notion that the logo must be complex to project its message. Nothing works better than a logo which is simple and effective.
A logo must be able to sustain itself even in grey scale format (devoid of colours). Colour works to enhance the overall logo image, not to make it effective.

Many people are unaware of the importance of a good logo, for the betterment of a company. Some of the main contributions of a logo in establishing the image of a company are given below :

A logo can be called as the face of the company. It is very important to have a proper logo design, to successfully entice the customers. A good logo can create the impression of a good company in the mind of the targeted audience.
A well crafted logo design can convey the entire information in the form of an image, which might take several words to convey.
A professional logo, designed in an efficient manner always describes how serious the brand is about its products.
A brand gets distinguished from its competitors on the virtue of its logo most often. A strong logo can often turn the tide in favor of the brand rather than its competitor, when it comes to attracting the audience.
The logo of the company becomes its image. People recognize a company not by its name in most cases, but by its logo. A creative logo design is sure to fetch a brand accolades as well as market possession.
A certain section of the crowd always appreciates a brand based on its logo. A separate customer market can be created by a company based on its logo. The characteristic of a logo plays an important part. The message given out by the logo is vital in this case.
A logo establishes the virtues and traditions on which the company is built. The market image of a company is greatly determined by its ethics.
Online promotion is an effective way of promoting a brand. As space is a key factor in online marketing, a logo of the brand becomes its effective means of promotion. Not only in online marketing, even in print ad mediums such as a newspaper a logo plays a key role.

Patience is a virtue needed for quality logo design. A quality logo will require time to be designed. As the logo represents the brand as an entity in the market, it is important to devote sufficient time to design a good logo. A simple logo design which conveys its message effectively is the dream logo for every brand. The Nike logo is one such example. It is one of the simplest logo designs you will find and just see its popularity. The brand Nike is identified by its logo worldwide.

A brand can capture a market quickly with the help of a well designed logo. It conveys the message much better than a set of words. Many successful brands today therefore rely on a logo to deliver their message to the masses.

Font Style and Font color: A Matter of Creativity and Effective Designs

MarkupBox — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:36:33 +0000

A web design is all about perfection, creativity and imagination at its best. With a unique, visually appealing and user friendly web design, a website stands a better chance of receiving and retaining more visitors. Moreover, an effective web design also helps in improving the search engine ranking of a website. A web designer need to pay attention to crucial aspects of a web design that plays a major role in deciding the look and feel of the site. This included font style and font color. More often than not, these two aspects of a site are neglected. This is because people generally presume font style and color to be a trifle aspect of a website that does not need much attention. Consequently these are ignored. On the contrary, fact is that font style and color do matter a lot and can help in attracting attention of visitors.

When it comes to a good web design, visual appearance matters a lot. And it is the right font style and color that helps in enhancing the overall visual appearance of a website. While choosing the font style and color, you must keep the user’s point of view and preference in mind. A website is good for nothing if users find it difficult to navigate through. An inappropriate font style or color can annoy and irk users. And this can ruin it all for you. On the other hand, if a website has a easily readable font and a good font color that is neither too dull nor too strong on eyes, it definitely attracts visitors and make they are likely to stay and go through the site. It adds to the overall appeal of the site and ensures that the web design comes out to be really unique, attractive and professional.

Font styles should be selected according to the theme of the site. There are, basically, four types of fonts. These are- serif, sans-serif fonts, cursive and mono-fonts. You should never use mono spaced font. These are difficult to read as the spacing between the letters is not consistent. In fact, there are certain fonts that are preferred by certain section of users. Therefore, it is always better to select the font keeping in mind the type of audience the website is going to cater.

Same goes for font color. Font color should be selected carefully. The top most priority while selecting font color is to ensure the readability. A color that is too strong on the eyes can make users leave the website. In fact, font color and style should go well with each other. This is because some color combinations affect readability negatively more when they are used with the wrong font. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the font color you select does not affect the readability of your font style.

It may look like a challenging task at hand, but the fact is that a web design can be easily made attractive and presentable by selecting right font styles and colors.
