Why Less is More in Design and Video #perezamigos #jimperezcadena

More edits, more effects, more graphics… sounds good, right? Wrong.

Simplicity isn't boring—it's clarity. A black-and-white photo? Timeless. A single spotlight on stage? Iconic.

When you feel like adding more, try subtracting. That’s where the magic is.

2 design lessons to remember forever

1. Simple does not equal easy

2. Be open, let the client be involved in the design process, show them your process work

Thanks my profs for teaching me this

Get Used To It

This is a little late, but here's a last tip from my Type prof this semester.

Get used to slapping things on your work you don't want. Don't be afraid to ruin your background artwork. 

What to do: Type any text with Helvetica in bright pink, slap it on top and stare at it. After a while, you'll accept anything else on top of your work because anything is better than what you just did.

Lesson of the Day

Learn to lead your client to the answer.

A good design is a design that has nothing else to subtract.
