Design I Like

Design to me should be based around what the product be designed for is saying. I don’t like design where it becomes about the design, and the product has no business being with that design. The best design in my opinion is also very simple, but thought provoking. Beauty, functionality, interactivity composition, balance, color, and typography are aspects which I like but it all depends on what its being designed for.

One type of design I like is old record covers. For example, this old record represents a simple design which hits on beauty, composition, balance, and color.A lot is being said with this design when the concept is fairly simple.





These two covers represent texture to me, a lot went into the feeling of the design.



Composition balance and color overpower these record covers.


I like these record covers because I feel like there flowing, as if this was the original idea they had and they went with them, they just feel right, like there not forced upon the subject, at the same time a lot of meaning is there.



These designs have a lot going on, both of them are very busy. At the same time there composition has a clear order. Both seem to be making order from disorder. The colors used on them are very important to the vibe of the music, which they fit perfectly to IMO.




I guess I like design where I feel as if the designer stopped thinking, and let the ideas flow, to whatever the product makes them flow, the designs I like act like a voice for the product, so yes composition, color, balance etc are important to me, but there is no set path in mind its whatever feels right.
