Magazine design

Magazine is a place I see a lot of designs that inspire me. My love for football attracted me to this page. The image of a footballer being the centre of attention, with typography well aligned to the left.

Print design branding

This is the logo of a cryptocurrency exchange I love the simplicity of this logo in terms of font type, colour and the design. In print design, this is regarded as a single colour design because it has shades of blue (CYAN). With colour separation this can be printed as one colour print, the white is not regarded as a colour its more like a stencil.

Zebra on Zebra-crossing

This pictures shows two paths, one to the left, and the other to the right, football fans can relate. A sharp contrast between the two paths by the vegetation lushness. As touching the design elements the road markings is gotten from the pattern of the Zebra, no wonder it’s called Zebra crossing. Think about nature before you start your next design.

Nature’s Alignment

The picture shows birds perched on a power grid in an orderly manner. Just as we use Grid and lines to align elements of design in a design. vertical alignment as we see here. Not perfect, but can be a source of inspiration in design.

Brand Design

The colour blend and combination of magenta, cyan, yellow and black enhanced the outlook of the final design. The white stroke on the typographic element gave a visual representation by retaining the visibility of the text, in order for it not to feel lost.

Design Comparison

The two designs below are same products of different brands and both have designed a package they feel is most attractive to their customers.

The first product (CROWNFIELD) made use of contrast, by using the colour of the cornflakes to complement the background giving it a harmonious look. The second product (KELLOGS) made use of a lot of white space in their design and have made the design simple and attractive.

Comment with the design that looks more attractive to you...

Negative Space

The image clearly depicts the effect of negative space combining all elements of nature. The bear, mountains, trees, birds, sky and land all together in one image. The space in this image clearly forms an interesting and artistic shape.

This image is a perfect picture of negative space with just one image representing an elephant and a tree as a result of clear use of negative space.

Contrast Image

Looking close at this image, it was made with a cardboard and what amuses me is the close association of the color blend. The differences in the tone added to the visual effect of the design and made the contrast obvious.
