Book excerpt: With the proliferation and expansion of the creative industry, the term "budget" has never been more relevant. It's the universal challenge every designer faces: how to create innovative work on a restricted budget. As a powerful driver of the creative process, it can affect any creative endeavor. With more companies cinching their budgetary belts tighter than ever, designers are pressed to find new and more inventive cost-cutting strategies. Great Graphics on a Budget includes the work of leading graphic and product designers from Europe, USA, and Australia, such as Aboud Sodano, EGO, Pentagram, Why Not Associates, Tangerine, and Cahan and Associates. With more than 50 case studies, it offers insights into the designers' thought process and reveals how they have invented, discovered, and recycled innovative ways to challenge not only the budget, but the client and brief as well. It shows that, regardless of resources, design and concept can remain strong and that a limited budget can even become a catalyst for some of the most creative designs produced.

Download or read book The Best of 1 color 2 color Graphics written by Chen Design Associates and published by Rockport Pub. This book was released on 2006 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores ways to stretch a budget by using limited colors without compromising style. Graphic design using limited or single colors not only offers a less expensive alternative to costly four and five color printing but also offers a range of bold effects from somber and elegant to edgy and bold. As the saying goes, less is more, and the work that is showcased in these pages clearly illustrates the truth and merit in this saying. One-color and two-color printing, although more common than four-color printing, often carries with it a stigma of looking cheap compared to four-color pieces. This book puts that myth to rest by showing how truly dynamic effects can be achieved with simple, inexpensive one- and two-color design and printing. Besides its simplicity, it has a style all its own, which can convey sophistication, elegance, and integrity. Included is a color finder section designed to show readers a variety of color combinations for various projects such as logos, packaging, book jackets, and posters. Each featured project is shown in thumbnail size in 15 to 20 different single or two-color combinations.
