In today’s tutorial I’m going to show you how to create a colourful text effect with several stacked text elements that are progressively spaced further apart and transition through the colour spectrum to produce a rainbow effect. It reminds me of the kind of retro design you might see on an old VHS tape box or an ad for an 80s technology brand.

“What does ice cream mean to people?” This is the first question we had when we started working on this project. “Dessert,” said someone quickly… “Wrong!” Replied a voice from the other side of the room. “It’s comfort. It’s a reward… it’s childhood.” And this is where this branding story begins. OOP is an ice cream shop based in Qatar. The concept is friendly and familiar, so we wanted to dig deep on the experience that this cool edible has offered since our childhood: comfort with a

Elvis Costello has been a songwriting heavyweight for as long as most people reading this will be able to remember. His literate, seething post punk singles at the tail end of the ’70s helped establish him as one of Britain’s most important musical voices; and his third album, 1979’s Armed Forces, broke him in the U.S… Declan MacManus was given the sobriquet Elvis Costello by Stiff Records’ supremo Jake Riviera in 1976: the first name intended as a provocation to fans of the King (obviousl

A designer’s skill set can very quickly become obsolete in this day and age. Designers need to know more skills than ever before, and client expectations are constantly changing. It can be somewhat more difficult to remain current if you work in-house and are required to stick to a certain style guide or use outdated tools. However, freelance designers need to closely monitor their skills as well, to avoid getting passed up by the competition.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
