Tit-Bits on Graphic Design Part 1



The concept is to have minimal colours and still make the product of interest become noticed. White is something that easily pops out if its background is monochromatic. Now you must search for products with white surrounding it. It can be a cup or plate, just as long as the white content is lesser than the product of interest. 

You must search for objects with different shapes and minimal light source. Now, pick a colour of the product inside the white object and fill the background with it. Keep changing the background until you are satisfied with the overall look.

Now play with the object. Play with its position its shape. You can even multiply it, just like I did with the green image. I placed one image over other giving it a cake tier like feel.


You can place it in a queue format and transform its perspective and direction like I did in the image below. I also changed the color of the text to an orangish brown to make it not stand out so much and still make the object of interest visible first.


This one is a very subtle choice of images and colour. Nothing is too flashy or standing out. But here below I played with the image itself to give it a flower or butterfly sort of alignment. This detail brings interest to the eye and also curiosity.


Keep playing with the size and re position the images to bring out something creative and different. Also go for subtle font. Think fonts with rounded corners bring softness to the overall image. If you are going for think fonts then make sure that the don't occupy too much space and are somewhat of a brighter shade of the same colour as that of the background.

Seeing the same image for a long time and also working on it might make us not like it so much or we might somehow miss the overall perspective. So, ask someone for their feedback or close the image do something else or go out to get some fresh air and then come back and view it. You might get new ideas. This is something I do personally, and  it seems to work for me. 

Thanks for stopping by. Happy designing to you all!
