Logo Magic

Image
  There is much that goes into designing logo magic that goes unseen. Behind the scenes, no illusions or wizardry are going on, as cool as it sounds. Instead, we’re more like mad scientists doing our research and then taking various elements manipulating and contorting shapes into various formations until we find an exciting configuration that fits our client’s objective. Research With Pink Jacket’s logo-making process, we start by learning the history of the client/product, why they came up with their brand name, and research what is already out there in the marketplace. We want to avo id looking like or being confused with another brand. You can easily get into this unfortunate scenario when a logo project is rushed. Working in black and white After having researched competing looks, we start to work in black and white only. This forces us and the client to squarely focus on the foundation of the logo. Since we’re looking at typography treatments, shapes...

5 Video Strategies for Social

Image
  The “new wave” in digital has been alive and thriving for a handful of generations now. Not to knock the *Metaverse* ( Jury’s still out on if Zuck’s digital playground will ever be widely adopted. ), but Video is where it’s at, and its impact will only grow bigger in the future. Here are a few helpful strategies for social video content. The hold that video has over consumers now is shown in a statement by Google VP, Prabhakar Raghavan – “In our studies, something like almost 40% of young people, when they’re looking for a place for lunch, they don’t go to Google Maps or Search. They go to TikTok or Instagram.” This means that Google is facing competition on their own turf – search engines. When consumers are looking for product recommendations, reviews, first-hand knowledge, and real human takes, they overwhelmingly prefer video. One common trope is searching for a simple recipe on Google, only to have to scroll past some obscure blogger’s life story to get to the instructions. ...

  Many people don’t fully understand Graphic Design or what a Graphic Designer does. Some think we draw or do cool stuff all day. We sometimes illustrate and do things that could be considered cool, but most of our time involves   creative problem-solving . We start with the client’s objective and target audience and go from there. Design with Purpose The first thing a graphic designer needs to know is the parameter of a job. For example: What does the client need their graphic design assignment to achieve? What does the client want their customers to do? And who are we targetting? Working within the client’s brand, we can solve our creative puzzle within the timeline allotted. Problem Solvers Designers have several tools and magic tricks up their wizard sleeves, and we’re not afraid to use them! That is, if the client, budget, and the universe allow it. Designers like to entertain themselves with new and different ways of solving problems visually. We gather our required elem...
