Graphic design for magazine adverts

Posted by designer On October - 19 - 2010

A client brief that has been thoroughly prepared is very important if you want a successful design at the end. You need all the necessary and relevant information from the client as well as a feel and insight into the client’s brand and needs.

As a designer your job will be much easier if client brief has been properly prepared as it gives you all the knowledge of what the client wants and you have multiple ideas to work with. If you don’t have a clear understanding of what the client wants you end up designed the wrong look and feel and the client ends up spending more money and the job often goes over budget. Naturally this makes both parties unhappy.

For each specific design you will need a specific brief. If you are designing a magazine advert there is some general information you will need from the publication in which your advert is going to be. You will need for example the size, the type area, the bleed required etc. Then only can you start your design. You need them to know about your client’s need and what they ideally want to achieve with this type of advertising. Below are a few questions to ask as a guideline to get a better idea of what your client is expecting to get out of the consultation.

1. What is a good title for the design?
2. What is the nature of your client’s business. ie what message would they like to carry across / what goals do they have?
3. What is your target market?
- what is their age, gender, income and occupation
4. Does your client have any competitors?
5. What is unique about your business or product?
6. What is your time frame in which you have to finish this brief?
7. It’s quite helpful to have past material used for marketing purposes.

OnDemand Graphic Design and Web Studio was briefed by CrocoAfrique to design a beautiful magazine advert which appears in a Zithini magazine – all about what is happening at the Victoria Falls.
OnDemand Graphic Design and Web Studio received a thoroughly prepared brief which made the job at hand much easier and we kept withing the budget as well as time allocated.

Branding design is a marriage of marketing with the art of design

Posted by designer On October - 12 - 2010

Brand Design

Don’t be fooled into thinking that the most popular brands that we see everyday do not constantly undergo a rigorous process of evaluation and analysis. Millions are spent each year to fine tune the corporate brand from logo design to package design. A truly effective brand design program will incorporate the art of design with the tools that are available to today’s marketers.

Brand design is the critical process of establishing a company’s image in the marketplace and is taken very seriously. When brand design is done effectively it gives a company the opportunity to set itself apart from its competitors. Regardless of whether a company provides merchandise or services, it is brand design that is responsible for cementing customer loyalty, reinforcing price points, and communicating the overall message and vision of the company.

What does a true brand design programme consist of?

A true brand design programme consists of much more than the design of the logo even though the logo is certainly the most recognisable part of a corporate identity. True brand design incorporates much more – everything you see from television and print advertising to marketing and website design should be created with the overall brand design in mind. Every one of these items give you the opportunity to further establish the objectives of the brand.

Evaluation of the brand continues using techniques that are available to marketers. Sales are monitored to see how modifications to the brand impact the bottom line.

Here is a great example of branding design done by OnDemand Graphic Design and Web Studio.
