Unconventional is the Order of the Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Design in Malaysia<\/a>, as everywhere else, is moving away from conventional graphics, stock images, familiar fonts and taking more risks, in an attempt to capture attention.\u00a0 Bolder colour schemes, better-branded images, custom illustrations, and handwritten fonts are some of the untraditional trends in design that are being embraced.\u00a0 Many companies have successfully rebranded themselves through the adoption of this design tip.\u00a0 It stands to reason then, that breaking away from some of the tried-and-tested ways of design might bring in better results than going strictly by the book of design rules.\u00a0 The intention is to present something to the consumer during their furious scrolling through the Internet that is so arresting, that they will stop to take a closer look.<\/p>\n

The Principles of Good Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any list of good design tips will tell you that design has to make its product or message understandable.\u00a0 Good design makes a product speak for itself.\u00a0 It translates a company\u2019s message into a language that an audience can understand and relate to.\u00a0 Further, good design should be unobtrusive, seeking to highlight the product or message, not seeking to detract from it and promote itself instead.\u00a0 Good design is also honest \u2013 it must not seek to manipulate its users into believing something about the product that is not true.<\/p>\n

The Key is Consistency<\/strong><\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t sufficient to revamp a design by adding a ton of bold colours and smarter looking fonts.\u00a0 The key to creating a compelling brand image is to maintain consistency in the design, across all platforms and media that the design reaches.\u00a0 Design in Malaysia must speak the same message across all channels where it seeks to capture an audience, or the entire effort becomes fragmented and results in a brand that is only moderately successful in establishing itself in the minds of its audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
