It’s not so often that you find some truly well designed packaging, so I was delighted to stumble upon this wonderful work done for Volta by Stamp. Focused on typography and elements around it, the design uses lines, waves, and simple shapes to suggest the pasta rather than placing photos on it. The choice of colors and simplicity, along with simple line-based illustrations, are an amazing publicity for this Italian restaurant located in the heart of Osaka, Japan.

As a graphic designer, there are many times when the project you’re working on may require you to flex your artistic muscles and pulling out sheets of paper and pencils is unlikely to satisfy the clients’ needs and unless you get it right the first time, is not going to make editing easy. These days, many artists, illustrators, and graphic designers have started to turn towards using tablets to complete their art projects.

But we don’t actually take notice of all the posts we see, simply because there are so many of them. People have become picky in what they choose to watch or read.

From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique.

What makes a difference between a premium designer and a beginner? At first glance, the logos of a professional design studio don’t seem that much different from a freelancer’s work. That’s just the first glance, though. The truth is, there’s a whole other layer of design process that beginners ignore. It’s presenting your work to clients. Premium designers understood that a logo is only as valuable as the story and strategy behind it.

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.
