Web design needs to do several things at once. It must look good. It must make sure the navigation of the website is clear. It must hold an internet user’s attention for as long as possible. And it must gently lead the user down the conversion funnel, quietly urging the user to take whatever action. The post The Psychology of Color in Web Design appeared first on Vandelay Design.

Textures with lots of detailed grainy speckles are my most-used type of texture resource. They are useful for adding subtle texturing to backgrounds, or for giving text and objects a letterpress style ink stamp effect. The textures in this collection are actually the same ones I used in my Free Ink Stamp Texturizer kit , but reprocessed to create seamlessly repeating graphics.

Two things about capitalism: graphic design is totally bound up with it; and it really has to end. . You won’t hear much debate about this first point, only a dizzying range of views about how capitalism and design relate. One diagnoses design as commodity culture full-stop, while another celebrates it as an engine of innovation. Yet another sees it as a basic human capacity to solve problems, which only became entangled with capital during the Industrial Revolution.

If it does not portray your brand message effectively, it will fail to attract and drive leads to the company.

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.
