What was the design brief that led you to this conclusion?
Without that, we canāt give you a critique.
Also ā¦ be careful with using stock images. You canāt use them in a logo. That winged heart is all over the internet
And without knowing any reasoning for your piece, the only other thing I will say is lose the blurring shadow. It makes it hard to read.
Other than that ā¦ Welcome Aboard
I donāt know the story behind the design, so I canāt really comment on how well your work does the job it was meant to do.
One thing I can say, though, is that itās generally not advisable to decorate typography too much since doing so impairs its readability.
With no knowledge on the reason for this design, I would revisit this. There are currently 5 different types of illustration/style going on here with no uniformity among it.
The wings are a flat illustration, the main heart is super detailed in a smoothened āpop artā sort of style, David J Ihuah can only be read based on the 3D effect, with the 3D effect in the next line going in the other direction and completely different styleā¦ then the 2nd heart is just a linear gradient along with the ellipses. Then thereās the whole light source on the period of āJā, which is an entirely different effect and does not blend well with any of the other stylesā¦
I was told to design something with an image of a heart with wings and that was the name I was told to use. Plus, āa man after Godās heartā is also included.
Oh, thanks a lot for that. Iāll refrain from using stock images.
Oh, all right. Thanks a lot, Iām new in this. I guess Iāll design another and send to you for accessment.
Noted!
Thanks a lot.
So is it a logo or is it a āsigā?
Graphic design has a purpose behind it, a message to convey.
If this is just sig art, as long as it pleases you, itās fine.
As a logo, there is a lot more wrong with it than using stock art.
I made this for a friend, heās taking it as both a signature and a logo. Please, tell me my mistakes. Iād love to improve.
Thanks.
Simplify. Thereās too much stuff going on here and itās all competing with each other for attention.
So this was a ājobā? Not an assignment?
If it was a job your client did half the work telling you all the things to include. Itās really your job to know his business goal and then you tell him what the design will be. This design doesnāt really explain anything. Is he a preacher? Why is he a man after Godās heart? What will this be used on? Tshirts?
If it was an assignment itās not a good one. Again we donāt usually get told what pieces to use to make a product. Other than the product itself.
Like others have said, itās pretty unreadable. One of my instructors told us, āThe goal of words is to be readableā.
There are 2 parts of graphic design: the logo and the way to sell the product, such as an ad, packaging or outreach.
From now on when approaching your designs:
Define the clients business
Define their customers
Tell their customers what to do, why to buy this.
in the future design a project that looks like we spent an hour on.
and something that the client cannot create. (smiley face)
i hope this helps.
Can you please give some feedback on my postā¦I really want some one guidanceā¦
