The role of a graphic designer is to translate the message a client wants to convey into a visual form. At Vertex Design Company, we believe that perfect and effective design is built on simplicity—because clean design avoids visual fatigue and effectively highlights the unique personality of the client and the message they wish to communicate. Most of the works covered in this book reflect the subtle expressive styles of clients and designers, as well as the emotional power of details.
Facing over 1,500 impressive submissions from designers around the world, the selection process was exciting and exhilarating, yet also nerve-wracking. Ultimately, through our collective efforts, we chose 500 works. These pieces meet our criteria for outstanding design: reasonable use of space, meticulous typography, striking black blocks, neutral color choices, and professional application of design principles in letterhead design. Each selected work successfully communicates the expressive intent and unique personality of its client through the use of icons, symbols, hand-colored graphics, and printing styles.
This book covers design projects with various budgets. These projects involve multinational corporations, non-profit organizations, and small private educational institutions. Despite the constraints of predetermined color palettes, budget limitations, and specific client requirements, designers have skillfully leveraged their unique creativity to overcome these challenges.
