Graphic design surpasses aesthetics, igniting ideas, forging connections, and driving action. This collaborative process, involving clients, designers, and producers, crafts impactful visuals that resonate and inspire. It’s about understanding, influencing, and ultimately, sparking action through the power of visual communication.

  • Low fidelity prototypes

    TLDR: Skip the fancy prototypes! Low-fidelity sketches are fast, cheap, and encourage better feedback – perfect for early UX stages to focus on functionality before aesthetics.

    basic is still the best?

    I’ve made a few assumptions here, first… you work in UX. Second, you’re familiar with Agile and third, you haven’t much time so I’ll keep this brief. Straight to it, here is a couple of the main advantages of low fidelity prototyping:

    • Get better and more honest feedback
    • More involved collaboration
    • Make the cost of mistakes cheap, not expensive
    • Refine the page flow, not the pages
    • Figure out the interaction design rather than the visual design

    Integrated brand identify both help reputation and consumer awareness. I was tasked with conceptualising a strong brand identity for a new Russian hedge fund.

    • color
    • type

    • logos
    • design grid
    • Signage

    Here is how I did it;

    The branding ‘circle’

    Working alongside a complete design team can be very rewarding. Like-minded people, working together to inject new meaning into a tired or misleading brand. This project did exactly that.

  • iOS Splash Pages – What’s the deal?

    Every app needs an app icon and a launch image. This presentation concentrates on the all important Splash Screen

    Sometimes you have to just stick on the headphones, crank up the tunes and grind through the dullest part of your iOS project. And that’s slavishly grind out the assets for all the iOS family, particularly the Splash Pages.

    Here, for the splash screens I have broken down as follows:

    • Size for iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation)
    • Size for high-resolution iPhone and iPod touch
    • Size for iPhone and iPod touch
    • Size for high-resolution iPad
    • Size for iPad

    For your iPhone

    There is basically three sizes for portrait mode, for the most recent iPhone 5 or iPod Touch 5th Generation (as of present 2013), for the iPhone 4 and 4S users out there and for you laggards, the iPhone 3 users.
