Book – Identity Suite: Visual Identity in Stationery by Victionary
A good design book is one of the key ingredients in obtaining and ferreting out inspiration for your next design piece.
There are no shortage of logo design books from which to harness the power of inspired thoughts, but it’s important to have the bigger picture in mind.
This is where Identity Suite: Visual Identity in Stationery by Victionary—someone needs to tell them that their current website design, specially colour choice and the general tinyness of everything, leaves a little to be desired—as it provides a tremendous resource for when you are tasked with creating more than ‘just’ that logo.
Being able to sense and imagine that larger dimension, and be able to visualise how your new logo design will work, for your client, across a range of touch-points is superportant.
Not every client mind has the budget for the sort of stationery designs you may see in books like this, however, it is still incredibly useful to see how stationery can be designed effectively and creatively.
Identity Suite: Visual Identity in Stationery not currently available, but it’s worth keeping an eye out for it on Amazon.
The presentation of the book looks spot-on, so I would imagine it costing somewhere between £25-£45?
