- Design is about sending a message, the clearer the better.
- Don’t over do it, people tend to forget complex messages or images.
- Stick to the plan. The branding was made with a clear intention and a focused vision, don’t try to invent new things.
- Try to use your brand to impact your audience.
- Always ask yourself: Is this design worth the time of my potential audience?
- Use big and small elements in your designs to establish visual hierarchy and let the reader know what's important.
- Contrast can be used to create variety, visual interest, and drama in an artwork.
- All the elements should project a constant unity through all of your brand.
- Even if you aim for diversity, try not to overuse lots of elements. At all times you shold try to imagine the big picture.
- Use colour sparingly to highlight important information. Color is not just a tool to embellish things.
- Always start with a layout in mind. Avoid the white canvas. Guide readers in a logical order.
- Make fonts legible and fitting for the design.
