working with logo design

logo



Working with logo is one of the biggest challenges for any designer. It’s like a seed which contains a big tree inside it. So many things relate it. Different designer keeps different strategy in designing logo. I always try to emphasize the typography. I always prefer a newly created font… but it doesn’t happen all the time. I have weakness in few specific fonts. In using color I am too conservative… its not good I know, but it’s my way of work.

Working with typography :: the full set

bangla typography


The post working with typography got the highest visit among all the posts of this blog. It’s really wonderful. I am really grateful to them who commented there. They inspired me to create the full set of the typography. It’s really a work of patience. I could find many problems in the set after completing it. The more I am working with it, more I am learning. Hopefully I am going to make it as a ‘font’ so that I can use it when I type a sentence. It’ll need some more detailing and I also have to learn a font creating software. I’ll keep a copy here so that people can download it and check it. so keep in touch.

work scope

sometime actually most of the time when I work, I feel myself so lucky that I have the opportunity to work (one thing should be clear: here work means which will bring you some money, food or fame or some other materialistic benefits). Leisure is good but it’s a really awful when you don’t have anything to do for a long time. So let us discuss how to make opportunities to work and definitely I’ll talk here from the perspective of a graphic designer.


1. Most importantly you need a job… no matter how much they are paying you. You need a platform to learn and show your talent.
2. It’s my belief that in this universe very few people are extra ordinary talented… real creative and definitely I am not among them. So when I work I never try to do any extra ordinary thing… don’t think that this work is going to be a milestone… I just try to understand what the client wants to say, I try to imagine a visual which ten other ordinary people also able to do. It always helps to reduce the pressure of the work.
3. Don’t be silent… share your ideas with your friends, colleagues… even sometime with the rickshaw pullers. It’ll help you to expand your work scope.
4. Patience is too important for a designer… there is no alternative. So keep practicing typography lot… it’ll help you to increase your skill and patience both.
5. Don’t give up any scope of work unless you are in a huge pressure. Sometime work just as volunteer… it helps building reputation.


Ha ha ha… so clever and wise writing! Did I ever follow any of these? I know you have your own way of working. Just keep the faith on you… you’ll be the part of the next history…

working with typography

typography is known as a boring subject to many of my friends. i also kept this view 1/2 years back. now its one of my favorite. if you want to grow as a balance graphic designer then it’s one of the biggest field to show your talent. when you are good at typography that means you are good in creating logo, monogram, icon and definitely it presents that you have a very good sense of design compositions. a designer always has to work with many limitations. typography is a good practice to work with limitations.
