What are the design ideas of the album1The corporate brochure should give people a complete corporate image. Therefore, designers should understand the vision, needs and brand value of Qixi Heye when designing.

Only then can they design a picture book that is visually aesthetically pleasing and easy to read. 2.The design should be carried out under the premise of fully understanding the purpose of use, the scope of application and relevant laws and regulations of the design object, and in-depth understanding of its functional requirements.

3.The feasibility of its realization should be fully considered in the design, and corresponding design means should be adopted according to its application form, materials and production conditions. At the same time, we should also consider visual effects when applying it to other visual communication methods (such as printing, advertising, Qi lead images, etc.).

The general design steps of an album include the following aspects:

Confirm the goal and positioning: clarify the use scenario and target audience of the album, and determine the message and brand image to be conveyed by the album.

Planning and conception: According to the goal and positioning, plan and conceive the content, structure and style of the album, and determine the general framework of the entire album.

Content arrangement: Arrange the planned content in the order of priority, and consider the height of the layout, color matching and other elements.

Design draft production: Zhonghui Design will use the design software to make a preliminary design draft, and adjust and modify it according to the actual situation.

Prototype production: Transform the design draft into a physical sample, check the effect and put forward suggestions for improvement.

Printing production: Batch printing of samples, and quality inspection to ensure that they meet the requirements.

Post-processing: After printing, post-processing work such as cutting, folding, and binding is carried out to make the album perfectly presented.

With sufficient reserved time, the production of each album will be produced by enterprises and designers in a process of brewing, refining and drafting. Sufficient reservation time is the "hardware guarantee" for the high-quality completion of the design project, and the enterprise needs to arrange more time budget in the process of album design. The designer tries to provide the most efficient stove shelter service for the customer as much as possible, and at the same time does not allow the album to be shoddy.

Without a lot of innovation and creativity in the structure of a book, it will be difficult to attract customers to read it, even if its photography, design and printing are good. Therefore, enterprises should fully evaluate their own advantages and disadvantages when making albums, for example, when planning the album of enterprises, we must first carefully analyze the materials provided by the enterprise, understand the spirit of enterprise, and build the structure of the album with unique concepts, so as to be able to show the strong strength of the enterprise in a concentrated and clever way, and then carry out the overall planning of the album according to the requirements and characteristics of the enterprise.

Enterprises must have a clear and rational understanding of the design requirements, time, goals, and budgets, and it is impossible for enterprises to spend millions on advertising budgets, and enterprises need a higher cost performance. In the case of a certain design goal, adjust the budget according to the goal through professional consultation; If you have a certain budget, weigh a suitable design solution based on professional advice.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine the design requirements and style as soon as possible before the design work is fully carried out, and it is best not to change the plan in the middle of the design.

Exchanges and agreements between enterprises and designers in the early stage; intermediate design and modification; Post-production and final completion, every stage and link requires in-depth communication and full cooperation. From the design requirements, quantity, objectives, style and other major aspects, to the color tone, **, paper, text, technology and other details, to the project budget, the use of the work, the project cycle and other macro aspects, the two sides should determine the project schedule and the special personnel of both sides before the official start of cooperation, as far as possible according to the plan, temporary work changes to be notified in time, early arrangement; Effective communication will do more with less.
