The Best Mac Computer for Designing

Let’s admit it: Apple Macbooks were the “it” computers that revolutionized desktop publishing, particularly overtaking their stronger PC counterparts in the area of typography and color accuracy. And while the 2 operating systems (OS X and Windows) are both strong competitors when it comes to performance and file compatibility (thanks in part to Adobe Creative Cloud), Macbooks still seem to find utmost favor in the eyes of many designers which can be owed to a number of factors, including: unit design (let’s face it -- Macbooks do look sleek and sexy); reliability; and brilliant Mac-exclusive apps like Sketch. Having said all that, it’s not really much of a wonder why Macs are among the most coveted machines in the world of design.

Is Your Logo Sending the Wrong Message?

By Sam Leave a Comment

Your brand logo is the ultimate messenger of your company, no matter how big or small of an enterprise you are. When the best of your PR team won’t be there to speak on your company’s behalf, your logo will. When a customer is looking at your product side by side with the competition, and there’s no salesperson to boost you up, your logo will. It’s just baffling, and at the same time unfortunate how a lot of companies seem to overlook this aspect of branding, and still wonder why things are not panning out. When for some undetermined reason you’re unable to reach your target market, take a step back and have a long look at your company’s logo and put yourself in the shoes of a stranger, a prospective client/customer.

The Best Logo Designs Year 2015 Has Seen

By Sam Leave a Comment

Your logo speaks more about your brand than you would ever desire. This makes it a dangerous endeavor to design (or approve) one that sends out a wrong or inaccurate message to the market. And while this apparently pushes message to the pedestal when it comes to effective logo design, creativity must not take a backseat. Because actually, in order to be successful in creating a single picture, illustration or whatever-have-you-for-a-logo that reflects who you are in the massively competitive market of brands, creativity must rule. So while you’re still thinking up a good concept, color scheme, or design for your logo, here are some great ones from the year 2015 that ranks well in our books.

Only after you have come up with something that supersedes these two can you say that the job is successful. And since 2015 is now nearly coming to a close, it’s only right to check out the year’s trends in order to make sure they don’t make an inglorious comeback in your 2016 designs. It can also be useful to take some inspiration from the best ones.
