Dare To Start With J

-

My friends from YUPPEACE asked me to design an invitation for the seminars that they are going to conduct. Given a short time, this is the best I could do.

Originally, their idea was to put a bottle of coke but I saw no sense why that bottle should be there. "Dare to start with zero" was one of the slogans of Coke Zero; thus the title "Dare to start with J." In my opinion, it will be too much of a copied material if I draw a bottle of coke there. That will be a murder of creativity and originality.

I believe that what I designed is more appropriate.:-)

This design is about a lenten activity called Visita Iglesia, a Catholic faith tradition wherein pilgrims visit five to seven Catholic churches during Lent, especially on Maundy Thursdays. From a distance, you can clearly decipher what the design is all about because of the prominent title "Visita Iglesia." For the background, I used a cropped map of Bulacan, showing only its southern part wherein the seven churches are located.  To give emphasis to the names of the Churches, I lighten the colour of the map and all its other elements which are not significant to the purpose of the design. The map, together with the church icons and names, suggest a journey of the pilgrims.

Furthermore, with the title and the map alone, the design looked flat and boring. So, I designed a logo for ...

Principles of Effective Web Design

According to Smashing Magazine , "usability and utility, not the visual design, determine the success or failure of a web site ." If the user can not find what he's looking for on a web site, in seconds, he leaves the site. If there's nothing that he can do on a page, in seconds, he leaves the page. Therefore, the user must be able to see in a short time what he is looking for on a web site. On the landing page, immediately, the user must be able to see what he needs. Therefore further, the web site must be clear of its main purpose. A message should catch the user's interest in order to make him stay longer or read further. The landing page plays a crucial purpose. What makes a user click on a link should be the same message that he must see on the landing page. National Geographic's tag line is " live curious ." Similarly, users of the Net surf curiously. If a user knows that the web site is going to satisfy his curiosity, answer some questi...
