is there money in logo design? How to start ?

@butronchloe1634 6 жыл бұрын

Quick Summary: Tip 1: Flip and reflect logo designs - easier to spot mistakes and makes logo identifiable when reflected Tip 2: Exaggerate negative space - Logo may be smaller than what you see on your screen so compensate the negative space Tip 3: Always use Geometric shapes - Easier and more accurate than using the pen tool Tip 4: Force yourself to create multiple renditions/ideas of your logo Tip 5: Change your location - helps you create more diverse ideas and helps clear your brain... You may ne surprised what you might think of in a new environment

My best tip for logo design is when you've just spend a marathon session designing, editing, tweaking and finalizing a design, and you're finally happy with it, STOP, turn off the monitor, and go do something else for the rest of the night. Then, when you wake up first thing in the morning, turn on your monitor and look to see if you're still happy with what you thought was a finished design. My bet is, you won't like what you see.

In short: • Check your logodesign as a mirror image • Make the negative spaces a little bit larger than positive spaces • Use geometric shapes • Make 50 sketches in an hour • Work in different environments

Really great idea about changing location! I NEVER get any ideas when I'm in my room, but the second I go outside, BOOM! One thousand ideas. Now I take a small sketchbook and a pencil everywhere I go and when I get an idea, I sketch it on the spot!

@@Zylode If you charge higher prices you attract different customers. Higher prices are one of many indicators of better quality. So if a big company looks for a person to design their logo that will be printed on many products such as letters, flyers and business cards, integrated in web and icons and so on they want it to be done fast by a trustworthy person. Because thats whats gonna be representing the firm for years to come. Higher pricing works well as long as your work is of good quality and you communicate well. Marketing, networking, good communication with clients. the whole package. If you succeed with it you can take on fewer projects and spend more time on them or have more time on your hands or both.

That whole negative space is so true. Its balance. Leonard Bernstein said of music "the music happens in the silence. Without the silence, the sound will be lost. It becomes mud. Silence is more powerful than the story and shapes of sound. Silence is the boundary for that sound. The constraint"

5 minutes into the video and you've taught me more about logo design than I learned in college. I got a crappy hand when our art director died my freshmen year and they pulled in adjunct profs who didn't know what they were doing to teach everyone. I consider myself mostly self taught at this point.

@skabbymuff111 6 жыл бұрын

I found your 1st point fascinating. as a graffiti artist for over 20yrs, one thing we learnt very early on with a graff sketch, was that if it looked good in reverse (looking at the paper backwards through a light), then you knew the letter formations were solid, and you had hit gold on the outline. we didnt quite understand fully at the time why this was, but it was true. a decent shape should look good from most perspectives. i think your point was more about recognising the actual logo, but i thought id share this also. a decent shape or form, looks good also when reversed, even if it doesn't make sense. its a great tip, even if it seems a little weird. All your other points were great also, thanks, loving your videos mate.

These are such wonderful tips Will :) I totally understand about changing environments sometimes because you need to see new things and explore random areas. This can stimulate inspiration which then can help you clear your mind and make the ideas flow easier. I know when your stuck in one place, I find I am getting stuck often and just going in circles. I will have to give that a try :)

@LogoBooks 6 жыл бұрын

Great and straight forward tips. The tip of using circles on top of an existing picture is simply great. I'm aware of it for quite some time now, but the day I saw the simplicity of it by using the shapes, I felt like I saw the light :-D

Hello Will ! Love the videos you put out. They are really informative and they have helped me so much to grow as a graphic designer. Thanks for discussing the aesthetics in so much depth. It would be great if you could make a video which talks about how to charge for logo design, i.e. the number of concepts that can be given at a price, number of revisions etc. But anyways great stuff !
