The perceived emotional corporate image as a whole.
Everything a company does, everything it owns and
everything it produces should reflect the values and
aims of the business as a whole.

8. Not a Few elements – some colors , some fonts, a logo, a
slogan.
It is the consistency of this core idea that makes
up the company, driving it, showing what it stands

35. HOW MANY COLORS WE HAVE ?

37. Typographic chaos
Don’t use too many fonts or weights (two maximum). Don’t use
predictable, crazy, or ultra thin fonts.
Poor font choice
All fonts have their own personality .

38. Relying on special effects or color
work in black and white first and then add the special effects or
color later.
Using raster images
A logo should be designed in a vector graphics program such as
Adobe Illustrator to ensure that the final logo can be scaled to any
size, enabling the logo to be applied easily to other media.

39. Settling for a monogram
One of the more common mistakes of the amateur logo designer
is trying to create a monogram out of the business’ initials
(Bob’s Hardware would become a logo made out of B & H).
Copying, stealing, or borrowing design
A designer sees an idea that he likes, does a quick mirror, color
swap, or word change, and then say “it’s my idea”.

40. Not cleaning up logo files
Take note of the hidden wave in this logo design.
Not delivering correct files to client
Delivering the right files to your client is one way to ensure that
your client never comes back asking for revisions or different
versions of a logo.

42. What Is A Design Brief?
A design brief should primarily focus on the results and
outcomes of the design and the business objectives of the
design project.

provide as much detail as possible! This does not mean one
line answers.

What does your company / organization do?
What is your company’s history?

43. What are the goals? Why?
Are you trying to sell more products or get awareness of your
product / service?

updating your promotional material?
Tip: You should also provide old promotional material to assist
the designer.
Who is the target market?
the age, gender, income, tastes, views, attitudes, employment,
geography, lifestyle of those you want to reach.

44. What are the specifications?
What size is the design going to be?
Where is it going to be printed / used?
The web, business cards, stationery, on your car?
What other information should the designer know in regards to
specifications?
Have you got a benchmark in mind?
example the customer like and dislike
