Intuitive Designs - Custom Web Design & Illustration Services

When a professional relationship between a client and a designer begins, there are certain ways that will be helpful to achieve the best result. One of the guidelines to keep a project rolling in effectively and harmonically is to understand the function of the “WHAT” and “HOW” in design.

While working on the design of the logo for a band, I researched on the Internet about rock band logos and realized that there is barely any information about this subject. This is something that has always fascinated me since I used to wear all those badges from my favorite bands in the late 70’s and started designing logos for bands in the early 80’s.

In my last blog entry I talked about how the computer world has revolutionized the designers and illustrator’s work environment and, as I announced, today I would like to make a comparison between all time analog tools and digital ones.  As I said in my former post, in the digital world there are still some important limitations for the artists taught in the analog world. Especially in terms of sensibility and physical control of the tools.

When we started this blog last year, we decided to have a rants and raves section where we would place one rant and one rave in the same post. Kind of like yin and yang, to balance each other out. So, here is our first rant/rave.

We have recently been getting quite a bit of attention for our recently re-designed site, so we would like to say thank you to all of the kind people who have mentioned us on their sites including:

I’ve seen it happen very often. Companies enter the internet market and want another way to get the most of their marketing dollars by getting as much information as they can from site visitors and potential customers. Not only does this provide a good deal of information for future marketing efforts, it also gives you viable measurements to know where your company is going. This seems like a good idea and seems to make sense.

I was looking over our site logs yesterday and realized that we are currently in the number 1 position in Google for a curious term and I just had to share. The term is “nicest website in the world”. Wow! Google must really like us! Although unintentional, it is kind of amusing, isn’t it?

Sometimes I remember how different things used to be when I first started working in a professional design studio, 20 years ago, and I have the impression that if the illustrators and designers from those days would have had the opportunity of foresee how technology would change our work we would have thought it was all science-fiction.
