Design is just as much about yielding an emotional experience as it is presenting the visual itself.
Quality print design should conjure up a human response in your audience getting them to think, learn, or feel about a certain topic. That being said, to achieve this there is a significant amount of graphic design planning that must take place.
Cluttered print designs can be disorienting, confusing, and can create a real disconnect between your brand's value proposition & your target audience.
Regardless of the platform, when it comes to graphic design, simplicity is essential. clean, elegant layouts with concise messaging & effective use of white space are more likely to catch the viewer's eye & resonate with user's.
When writing copy-heavy print content, it is important to keep in mind that large blocks of copy can be overwhelming to the user & often ignored.
Breaking up copy with imagery or using bullet points & incredibly concise sentences ensures you're content is easy-to-read. It's also important to keep in mind how the font (or) typeface will appear to users, especially with print collateral such as business cards, and make sure your selection is an appropriate size to style.
Print Design should focus on the benefits that your customer will get from your product (or) service, and highlight the core objective of the initiative.
It's critical to keep the messaging simple, while also making sure it directly relates to your brand's value proposition. Whether you're creating a business brochure design (or) a flyer design, the benefits you're promoting in the print content should be obvious. without a clear incentive (which could be your Expertise, Talent (or) Quality) the user isn't likely to select your products (or) services to fulfil their needs.
