Fizz Creative’s Post

Emotional Impact in Design Design is not just about aesthetics; it also aims to connect with the audience on an emotional level. A designer's vision should consider how visuals can evoke feelings and responses. By using color, imagery, and typography strategically, designers can create a narrative that resonates with viewers and enhances their experience.

Introducing Creative Conversations. Where we ask insightful questions to local experts within the creative industry. This week we asked Oliver Tuzzio for his insights on the future of design trends. Here is what he said: What design trends will shape the future of creativity? "There's two things that spring to mind here, the first being a 'retro revival', we see it every year or with every new generation, for example we've seen Gen Z become consumed with Y2K fashion and style, I think as these revivals become popular in society, they also seep into design. It will be interesting to see what the next revival is, perhaps we will draw inspiration from the 60's and 70's and fuse these styles with a contemporary twist. Who knows, perhaps we'll go back even further, there's comfort in nostalgia but also an authenticity that the digital age can't quite match up to. Another is expressive or experimental typography, there will always be a loyal fan base for fuss-free typography, but I think we will see a shift from neatly aligned fonts and push the boundaries between form and function, with an emphasis on innovation and experimentation with unconventionality, we'll see letters pushed the limit, being unpredictable, demanding more attention and interaction from audiences." Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 

In all creation there's order, although it may not always be easy to see. For example, abstract paintings seem to be a random form of expression rather than an organized representation of something tangible, yet, they are felt deeply. The reality is an abstract painting is so expressive because of underlying principles of design that organize elements like line, color, texture, value, and shape. Still based on order, just expressed abstractly, rather than literally. Design is no different. Visual communication is based on the same principles and elements. Logo + identity design takes it a step further by systemizing the use of visual components like logos, typography, color, grids, and images to increase recognition and efficiency. Smart organizations know that however expressive their identity, they need order to keep it intact and sharp. To maintain its momentum. Design is order. Design makes the complex simple. Let's work together to Identify Good. #DesignIsOrder, #VisualIdentity, #LogoDesign, #IdentitySystemDesign, #IdentifyGood

Typography, the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing, is a cornerstone of graphic design. Its significance transcends mere aesthetics, influencing readability, mood, and the overall effectiveness of a design. Whether crafting a brand identity, designing a website, or creating print media, typography is an indispensable element that can make or break a design. タイポグラフィは、書かれた言語を判読可能、読みやすく、魅力的にするための文字配置の技術と芸術であり、グラフィックデザインの基盤です。その重要性は単なる美学を超え、可読性、ムード、そしてデザインの全体的な効果に影響を与えます。ブランドアイデンティティの構築、ウェブサイトのデザイン、印刷メディアの作成において、タイポグラフィはデザインを成功させるかどうかを左右する欠かせない要素です。

These design mistakes are costing you $$$ . . Lots of talented designers struggle to move ahead because they mess it up without realizing it. Are you also making any mistake of them? 1/ Think of mastering typography, colour, and layout. They're the strong base for a big building. 2/ Don’t wait for paid projects to practice. You will have to be consistent to sharpen your skills with personal projects. 3/ Not considering feedback can limit your growth as a designer. Share your work and be open to constructive criticism. These are the things you might not even think about can hold you back. Practice every single day to make sure your skills are too good to ignore. #design #graphicdesigner

As a designer, I've always found the initial design exploratory phase exhilarating - that magical moment when typography, colors, and images blend together to create a stunning visual direction. While I love crafting these moodboards, I often found myself losing precious creative time jumping between inspiration sites, type foundries, and design tools. This led me to wonder: could there be a better, faster way to streamline this process? As a first-time builder, it's incredibly rewarding to see what Alberto and I have accomplished with Inspotype in just a few months. I might be biased, but I'm still amazed at how simply changing three key elements (fonts, colors, photos) can generate infinite visual inspirations. It's like having a playground for creativity at your fingertips. 🌟

Ever wondered why certain websites feel instantly trustworthy or why some logos resonate more than others? Choosing the wrong font means conveying the wrong message😟. Wouldn't it be sad to spend a lot on a beautifully designed website or branding, only to unintentionally mess with the typography and send the wrong messages? A mismatched font might weaken the professionalism you aim to project or dilute the creativity you wish to express🎨. Typography isn't just about letters; it's about emotions and brand personality. A well-chosen font not only improves readability but also communicates a certain tone. It's about making careful choices that support professionalism, trust, or creativity—whatever suits your brand story best. 🌟 Grateful to Abu Nabhan, founder & CEO Haris&Co. Academy Design School, for shedding light on branding and typography, the insights gained are a game-changer and thanks to Haris Aboobacker for connecting us with industry experts👏.

Every designer is surrounded by similar designs, but the key is how they get inspired by them. If you keep looking at designs on platforms like Behance or Pinterest and just go, "Wow, that looks good," stop and instead ask yourself, "What makes this design look so cool?" Is it the color combination that makes it engaging, or the typography or placement? Try to take inspiration in a way that teaches you something. Instead of just admiring a good design, observe details like the effect of a specific color combination or placement. By doing this, you'll learn new ideas that will influence your creative work.

While the role of branding and visual identity in 2024 is leaning towards simplicity, I don't think this means design choices will be any less bold or impactful. If anything branding will play more of a hero role in design - bolder imagery, typography and use of colour will be given more space to shine through in smart, minimal designs. I certainly see things like kinetic typography playing a role too as we rely more on branded design elements to convey messaging and guide users. Minimalism doesn’t have to equal boring.
