Making information Attractive and Creative

Since the dawn of technology, publication materials like david bowie photos and other forms of communication materials have undergone so much change. From serif fonts to the fancier ones being custom made for the material; from the common colors to a wider array of palettes; and from simple drawings or portraits to high resolution realistic or cartoon images.

 

And with the continuing development of technology, information has also increased in number as compared to years and years ago. Through the Internet, information has also become easier to access for anyone who is anywhere in the world at any time. And so to keep up with the demand of information, there are bloggers or other website owners who employ the use of amazing designs in their information presentation.

​

Simply put, graphic designing is the packaging of information to a more visual material, with respect to the principles of design, including colors, and images, among others. There are many people whose occupation is graphic designing. Usually, they are hired for contractual projects or full time designers in a company.

 

Speaking in terms of websites, the role of graphic designers is to help make the websites more friendly or attractive to look at, or just plainly get more people to view the website. The same goes for the designing of blogs.

​

However, for some who are just planning on doing the graphic designing themselves for personal reasons, it would be better if you first look at other websites or blogs to get inspiration for your personal blog or website.

 

You may also ask your friends or family for help in some of the aspects. This way, you can come up with amazing designs. It would also help for you to decide on the motif or theme of your website. Somewhat like a genre - are you going for a coffee shop feel, something funny, maybe even scary? This part usually depends on the topic you are going for.

​

If you have decided on your theme or topic, you can go ahead and gather the things you need like images. It is okay to get photos from the internet, as long as you have permission and have given proper attribution to your sources. You can start looking for images in the Internet via search engines or special websites for images. However, it would still be better to use images that you have taken yourself, this way you can also show off your skills in photography.

​

Make sure that the images will not be clashing with your fonts and colors. Make everything friendly and easy to the eyes, because if a viewer thinks that your design looks too heavy or light or clashing then they just might not visit your website again nor would they recommend it to others.

​

Bottom line is that your elements must be in harmony. Ask for second opinions when in doubt. And remember to just have fun with the designing.
