Color + Design Blog by COLOURlovers Marketing, using illustrations, is more powerful than using text, which most people don't read. After all, they say that 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' A marketing illustration needs to have a strong message to the intended market to make an impact. Most news indicates that all illustrators are different, so what are the various marketing mistakes they need to avoid when doing their work? This article will highlight some. No smooth illustrations Illustrations use more drawings than from just the imagination. Use of the wrong file format Well, one would conclude that it's not worth spending a whole day designing a logo for a client and creating the best resolution only to download it in the wrong format. Using the wrong colors Colors are very crucial in marketing illustrations. Not using swatches While most young illustrators will try to build their own swatches to remain unique, this can use up most of your time and never achieve the best quality. Poor cropping Conclusion
We Made This Ltd Often, when you get a job back from the printer (having laboured over it for hours, days, weeks, and often months), there can be a certain sense of disappointment, with the final result not living up to your by now unjustifiably elevated expectations. That’s not to say that the finished object isn’t worthy of love and pride, just that you can easily have an idealised view of what you hope to have created, a view which reality can never match. But every now and then, the reverse happens. Despite having those same supposedly unrealistic expectations, the finished object manages to exceed them. This happened to us with this learning journal we created recently for the Penguin Random House Academy – the in-house training programme for the company’s UK staff. We were hoping it was going to look great, but once we got it in our hands, we couldn’t help but grin. We started out by designing the identity for the Academy, a simple circle. The covers are 2000 micron greyboard, foil-blocked in white.

Thank you for making NoClean Aquariums™ a reality! If you missed out you can get your Self-Cleaning Aquarium at NoCleanAquariums.com, along with updates and future projects.We sincerely appreciate your support! -Craig & David People love aquariums because of their soothing, natural beauty. So we set out to design an aquarium that breaks down these barriers so anyone can have a beautiful, fun-to-watch aquarium without the hassles. Introducing the NoClean Desktop Aquarium: It’s self-cleaning, eco-friendly, and only takes about 60-seconds to work! The self-cleaning system runs entirely on physics. The aquarium uses no electricity or filters so there are no running costs. Due to gravity and the laws of physics, aquarium waste naturally works its way through the rocks to be trapped at the bottom of the aquarium in a patent-pending reservoir and plumbing system. The system automatically stops when the water reaches the perfect level, ensuring a spill-free, mess-free experience.
