1. Photography by Rachmad Sofyan

This photographer, Rachmad Sofyan, inspired me with the way he makes use of lightning and effects. Really cool and epic shots, especially the above one. (more…)

Images, especially photographs, give a clearer view of what is meant by the designer. One good photo can replace a hundred lines of text! You just have to be sure you’re using a relevant picture.

Every designer knows this – the power an image has over words. Although words are generally pretty self explanatory whilst images aren’t, I still prefer to use an image instead of text. With this blog post I want to explain my relation to photography and the level of importance it has to me.

Relevance is important

Yes! This should be logical for all designers! If a photo isn’t relevant to your design, it won’t give you the end result you intended. The power of photography can diminish when it doesn’t have a good relevance to the rest of the assets in your design. So, having a great photo doesn’t mean it will positively influence the design.

Below you’ll find a few things I created lately for my work at Quipment. I’ve been busy with this the last few days and now I finally reached the end line of these projects.

A simple report card

The first project is a simple report card which covered the results from a customer survey we did last year. The goal was to get a similar look as the survey back than and also give it that report card feeling. Thanks to the printer this is accomplished. The response was great for this project and we scored very nicely, but it can be better! It always can!

The report card:

New website: ExpoBoxx.nl

Last week I also finished work on a new website, www.expoboxx.nl. ExpoBoxx is a company that leases exclusive exhibition stands to other company’s.

It’s a relatively simple website but has a clean and exclusive look. My work went into the design and coding of the website. My goal was to create a professional looking website, but keep it as minimal as possible. I also wanted the website to look good in all browsers. I managed that for Chrome, Opera, Safari, FireFox and even Internet Explorer! That’s probably due to the simple lay-out. The end result is viewable here.

1. Logo design, Sans Serif in logo’s

A great round-up of logo’s that are using a sans serif font. There are some really original and creative ones in this set!

2. Top Designers advertisments, TBWA

“TBWA is an advertising agency with a big history behind it. It was founded in 1970 and since then has provided creative and interesting advertising ideas to the commercial industry. ” This set of ads will certainly make you smile.

3. Glamour Photography by Philippe Shangti

Philippe Shangti (http://www.shangti-studio.com/) really has a nice style of photographing. I really like this kind of photo’s, they pack a punch in my opinion.

4. Creative packaging design ideas

A products packaging, when done right, gives you that customer attention you want. This creative set of package designs will do the job for sure.

5. Beauty Photography by Jason Ierace

Jason Ierace (http://www.jasonierace.com/) did a terrific job in catching the beauty of these females. A great set of photo’s! Personally I like the pink lips a lot.

6. Artistic Colorful logo’s

Normally I only use a few colors when designing a logo, two at max. This roundup of logo’s however show us that it’s possible to use a huge amount of colors!

7. Beautifull Photo maipulations by Luis Beltran

When browsing to my weekly inspirational posts, you’ll see some amount of photo manipulations. These are different! Luis Beltran (http://www.luisbeltran.es/) is creating a very realistic result in his photo maniuplations. It’s only due the the fact I know they’re manipulated, otherwise I wouldn’t believe they were!

8. Appealing nature in rain photography

Normally rain doesn’t make someone happy, on the contrary! It makes people sad and emotional. These set of photo’s however show a different rain, beautiful examples how nature looks good from time to time.
