Clutter-free Design can be Clutter-breaking in Advertising
"The idea is getting lost." "How about a bigger logo?" "I can't shorten the headline." These are the often repeated lines in an advertising agency. For an art director, the challenge is to meet all such expectations in a single design. Senior Creative Director Denzil Machado explains how keeping designs minimalist and simple can meet all of these to satisfy both creativity and the brand objective.
Leave it to the Audience
Advertising is different from other design areas like graphic designing and illustration. That's because it's an integrated communication that involves a union of the idea, visual and words. The idea, no doubt, plays the most important role. And then the art form must compliment it, which is where the challenge lies. The best way is to let the audience decode an idea, helped by a design. That's when an artwork is able to achieve the objective for the brand, the client and the agency.
