Less is more and more is less

From my understanding, Less is more and more is less in design is about whe we design something, we dont need to over do it and dump all our ideas in one design because that will only make the design looks packed and it doesnt look nice anymore.


Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is set out to expose the essence, essentials or identity of a subject through eliminating all non-essential forms, features or concepts."

Signage

Signage is any kind of visual graphics created to display information to a particular audience. This is typically manifested in the form of wayfinding information in places such as streets or inside/outside of buildings.
Function of signage
The main purpose of signage is communication, to convey information such that its receiver can make cognitive decisions based on the information provided. In general, signage can be classified into the following functions:

(1) Information: signs giving information about services and facilities. (maps, directories, instructions for use, etc) 

(2)Direction: signs leading to services, facilities, functional spaces and key areas (sign posts, directional arrows, etc)

(3)Identification: signs indicating services and facilities. (room names & numbers, toilet signs, number of floors, etc)

(4)Safety and Regulatory: signs giving warning or safety instructions. (warning signs, traffic signs, exit signs, rules & regulations, etc)

What Is Environmental Graphic Design?

Environmental graphic design is a field on it's own. Designers have to think differently about graphics in the physical environment. Issues include Movement of people (wayfinding), Landmarks, Identity, Architecture, Sustainability (projects have to be relevant in future years). Environmental Graphic Design embraces many design disciplines including graphic, architectural, interior, landscape, and industrial design, all concerned with the visual aspects of wayfinding, communicating identity and information, and shaping the idea of place.

What makes a good logo?

1. Simple

A simple logo design allows for easy recognition and allows the logo to be versatile & memorable. Good logos feature something unique without being overdrawn.

2. Memorable

Following closely behind the principle of simplicity, is that of memorability. An effective logo design should be memorable and this is achieved by having a simple, yet, appropriate logo.

3. Timeless

An effective logo should be timeless – that is, it will endure the ages. Will the logo still be effective in 10, 20, 50 years?

4. Versatile

An effective logo should be able to work across a variety of mediums and applications. The logo should be functional. For this reason a logo should be designed in vectorformat, to ensure that it can be scaled to any size. The logo should be able to work both in horizontal and vertical formats.

5. Appropriate

How you position the logo should be appropriate for its intended purpose. For example, if you are designing a logo for children’s toys store, it would be appropriate to use a childish font & colour scheme. This would not be so appropriate for a law firm.

PROJECT 2 - EXHIBITION BOOTH DESIGN

My Research of Exhibition Design

Exhibition design is the ultimate guide to the many facets of this rapidly emerging discipline, from retail design to museums and trade shows - every field that applies graphic information to place and object.

This unrivalled handbook is a guide to the world of exhibition design, exploring what constitutes successful design and how it works.

It clarifies the roles of the various design skills involved in exhibition design, and explores how new technology and materials expand the possibilities for both form and function.

It also describes the tools and processes for design and manufacture, methods of prototyping, and means of transporting, assembling and dismantling exhibits.
