Ever since I created the showcase of Unique Packaging and Label Designs for Whisky Bottles I have been wanting to have a go at creating some kind of liquor bottle label design of my own. I also have a resource in my collection that I have been eager to make use of, which would be the perfect tool for creating a Victorian style brand design complete with ornate flourishes.

Every font tells a story. Once upon a time, serifs ruled the world. When we look at them today, we can’t shake the feelings of tradition and elegance. Then, we switched to sans-serifs; practical and highly readable. Fonts that amplify your message. Today, we use all kinds of fonts. Serifs for elegant materials, sans-serifs for making sure that our words resonate, and script fonts for that special aesthetic touch.

As with every design decision, the answer to the question “Should UX designers learn to code?” is: “It depends.” When you work with digital products, you may not always need to write lines of code, but it is an added advantage to know how to build the product that you design. In the early days of web design, graphic designers, who had previously worked in print, learned to write code so as to become web designers.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

Hey! But my UX design practice is perfect! Thankfully, we don’t hear that very much but the truth is – the longer we’re in a job, the better we consider ourselves to be at that job. Sometimes, it’s worth remembering that even the best professionals still have learning to be done. It’s also worth remembering that the longer we do things, the easier it is to have sloppy habits creep into our work.That’s why the experience driver is not necessarily a great driver; they may think they are – but ther

Color can be used to guide someone in the right direction to accomplish a task effectively and efficiently. Just think about a bright red “Read More” button on a white background, one that directs you to a full article on your favorite design guru. Even so, used by designers who focus more on the needs of the company than on those of the target group, colors can turn into a bewildering nightmare, hiding buttons and information users actually need.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
