The graphic design of disco. Let’s explore the design of disco through the book To Disco With Love by David Hemsley. You will find bold, colorful active sometimes over the top garish campy unforgettable design. The graphic design of disco was heavily photo-focused, bold, colorful, and energetic. While it could sometimes feel formulaic or amateurish, it was also deliberately over-the-top, garish, and campy—traits that captured attention and gave disco its distinct visual style. If you’re curious to dive deeper into the world of disco design, I highly recommend this book. It features a wealth of unique and unforgettable visuals. #graphicdesign #disco #designinspiration #graphicdesigner

One of the things that gets me excited on a daily basis, is my ability to bring my imagination into reality —leveraging (graphic) designs. At the conclusion of each design project, I’m usually filled with gratitude to God for embedding in me, the skills required to become a designer; and afterwards I just stare in awe, appreciating the beautiful artwork that has been birthed. The visualization I had for this design was to blend simplicity with professionalism and I strongly believe I was able to achieve this. The cartooned image featured on the design was to create a personalization on the act of reading rather than just putting a book on the design. I hope these ‘Five Tips’ help you complete reading your next book… What are you thoughts on the design? Lemme know in the comments. #design #book #graphicsdesign #designer #tips #socialmediadesign #designenthusiast

🚀 New Book Cover Design !🚀 I'm here to share my latest book cover design for Dr. Emily Harris's self-help book, "Mind Over Matters." 🧠 Concept Behind the Design: "Mind Over Matters" is a powerful guide that explores the intricate workings of the human mind and how mastering our mental processes can lead to extraordinary success. When designing the cover, I wanted to encapsulate the essence of the book's message: the idea that our mind is a complex machine, capable of producing incredible outcomes when we learn to operate it effectively. The cover features a stylized image of a brain intertwined with gears, symbolizing the mechanical nature of our thoughts and how they can be fine-tuned for success. I chose a vibrant yellow and red color scheme to evoke energy and determination—qualities that are crucial in the journey of self-improvement. The bold typography reflects the book's strong, motivational tone, encouraging readers to take control of their mental processes and shape their destiny. 🌟 Why This Design? This design not only captures the essence of the book but also stands out visually, making it easily recognizable on both digital platforms and physical shelves. The simplicity of the imagery, combined with the dynamic colour palette, ensures that the cover is not only eye-catching but also deeply meaningful. 📚 Yes, This is all about related to my design! #GraphicDesign #BookCoverDesign #LinkedIn #DesignProcess

The book cover "𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐀 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞" is meticulously crafted to reflect the themes of resilience, triumph, and the transformative power of perseverance. The design focuses on the concept of overcoming challenges and thriving in life, embodied by the central visual—a silhouette of a person standing confidently on the edge of a cliff, arms outstretched toward a stunning sunset. This image symbolizes the journey from struggle to success, capturing the essence of personal growth and perseverance. The background of the cover showcases dramatic mountain ranges bathed in warm, golden hues as the sun sets. These natural elements represent the highs and lows of life's journey, further emphasizing the themes of endurance and victory. The title, "𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄," is displayed prominently in bold, gradient text that transitions from deep brown to bright yellow, symbolizing the transition from darkness to light, from hardship to achievement. Beneath the title, the subtitle, "𝟭𝟬 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀," is set in a clean, modern font. This reinforces the practical and motivational aspects of the book, providing readers with actionable steps to navigate challenges. The author's name is elegantly placed at the bottom of the cover, completing the design with a sense of professionalism and authority. This cover, with its powerful imagery and thoughtful typography, serves as a beacon of hope and encouragement for those facing difficult times. #graphicdesigner #bookcovers #bookcoverdesigner #logos #socialmediagraphics #banners #youtubethumbnail #creditrepairflyers #custombrushes #creativedesign #ebookcoverdesign #bookcoverdesigner #ebookcoverdesigner

📘 Avoid Common Pitfalls in Book Cover Design In over two decades as a book designer, having the privilege to work on bestselling and award-winning titles, I've come to understand that effective book cover design is as much about what you should do as it is about what you should avoid. One common mistake that I often see is the overcomplication of a book cover. A book cover should captivate and intrigue, but clarity must never be sacrificed for complexity. Remember, your cover has only a few seconds to make an impact on potential readers. Overcrowding your design with multiple fonts, numerous images, or too many colors can lead to confusion and take away from the core message of the book. The best covers are often those that make a powerful statement with simplicity. They use a single, striking image, one or two complementary fonts, and a limited, well chosen color scheme to create a memorable and meaningful impression. This approach enhances the book’s design and ensures that the cover stands out in a crowd. Your book’s content should have a clean, compelling design. Your goal is to draw readers into the world of the text, not to overwhelm them at the start. For those starting out or looking to develop their skills, remember that complexity can be tempting, but clarity is what works. Keep this in mind, and your designs will attract more eyes and also hold them long enough to turn browsers into readers.

8/52 These books are the spark of all my ideas and concepts. ⚡️ One of my first steps for EVERY Design project is to get my ideas onto paper, giving me the freedom to develop concepts further. I literally carry my pocket one everywhere just incase! ✏️ Sometimes, I will even sit and go back through my old notebooks to revise ideas and look back at concepts that didn’t make the grade, but had the potential… (these two are recent additions to my archive). 🔥 Ever worked with me on a Design project? Chances are that the origins of your design can be found in one of these sketchbooks. 🤙 (Yes, I am a massive Aaron James Draplin fan). #LogoDesigner #GraphicDesigner #IdeaCreation #FieldNotes

Book design has always been one of my key passions. But designing a book is so much more than image and type on paper. To me it has always been about the personal experience and connection created through physical interaction with a piece. A strong concept for design combined with careful consideration of size, structure, pacing, paper, inks, binding, speciality techniques... all play a role in how the reader engages with the book. But more importantly, how they "feel" about the contents. It's a way of "letting the reader in" to the subject through multiple doors. It is a fact that physical engagement makes for a more memorable experience. In a word where so much of our lives are digital, there is something truly magical about a physical object!

There’s a lot to think about when designing a unique book like ‘Jambot’s Guide to Technology’. The layout for every chapter is consistent and familiar. Each chapter is colour coded. Every tiny detail, from the font choices to the page numbering style, is given a lot of thought and attention! Each of the 40+ technical illustrations are 100% unique and they have an unmistakable ‘Jambot’s Guide’ feel. The reader can engage with the content at 3 different levels. 1.       They can look at the pictures. 2.       They can read the Jambot callouts. 3.       They can read the detailed body text. This book does not have to be read cover-to-cover. The reader can grow into it! I didn’t do this alone. I had help. My brother Ian is a graphics designer with 40+ years of experience. He understands design. He knows what works. He knows how to engage the reader. He worked tirelessly on the layout, every illustration, every detail. He believed in my vision, and he turned it into a beautiful reality. Every detail comes from his expertise and his genius. Without Ian I couldn’t have done this. I wanted his name on the cover – ‘Illustrations and layout – Ian Lynch’ – but I was overruled! He designed the cover 😊. Thank you, Ian. It couldn’t have happened without you!   #jambottech #jambotsguidetotechnology #learning #education #stem #book #design #graphicdesign #brothers
