Why have you kept a reference of “map on ring binder ++”?
Hey! You found one of the images that have taken my fancy while I was browsing Pinterest recently. I'm not claiming ownership of any of these images, but I do claim to have good taste.
For designers, Pinterest is more than just a platform; it's a visual library, brimming with inspiration and innovative concepts.
Logo design is a nuanced art form where colors, shapes, and typography come together to tell a brand's story in a glance. The essence of design is not just about making things look good; it's about creating a meaningful experience for users. Every design, whether it's a simple logo or a comprehensive website, serves a distinct purpose and communicates a specific message. Design is about distilling complex ideas into digestible visuals, making the complex simple and the mundane exciting. Design is the magical process of turning abstract ideas into tangible visuals, creating value and meaning. Branding is the soul and ethos of a company, while design gives it a face, voice, and personality.
What Pinterest tells us about this image
Map drawn as a cover for a ring binder I gave my mother’s for her 50st birthday. I made the map entirely by hand and with a brand pan – normal pencils won’t stick on the plastic of the ring binder. However, the varnish reacted somehow with the ink, so down under is blurred a bit (and a bit too much). Moreover, the ring binder isn’t exactly water proof anymore, so the varnish actually counteracts the purpose of itself. 2011. – This was originally posted on Pinterest. See the original
