The design process of metal badges is generally as follows:
1、 Requirement communication
Clear purpose: Firstly, it is necessary to determine the design purpose of the badge. Is it used for corporate promotion, event commemoration, team identification, or personal collection. Different purposes will affect the design style, pattern selection, and color matching of badges.
Understand the audience: Consider who the target audience for the badge is. If it is designed for a specific group, such as people of a certain age, occupation, or interest, it is necessary to understand their preferences, values, and aesthetic concepts in order to design badges that resonate more with them.
Collect information: Communicate extensively with customers or relevant personnel to gather specific requirements and expectations regarding badges. Including information on the size, shape, material, color preference, budget, and other aspects of the badge. At the same time, similar badge design cases can also be referenced to gain more inspiration.
2、 Creative conception
Theme determination: Determine the theme of the badge based on the results of requirement communication. A theme can be a specific concept, event, character, brand, or cultural element. The determination of the theme should be unique, relevant, and attractive, able to accurately convey the meaning and value of the badge.
Pattern design: Design patterns around the theme. It can be achieved through hand drawn sketches, computer graphics, or using graphic design software. The design of patterns should be concise, creative, and expressive, capable of conveying rich information within a limited space. Symbolic, metaphorical, and exaggerated techniques can be used to enhance the artistic effect of patterns.
Color selection: Choose appropriate colors based on the characteristics of the theme and pattern. The selection of colors should take into account factors such as emotional associations, contrast, coordination, and readability. Generally speaking, the colors of metal badges are mainly gold, silver, copper and other metallic colors, and other colors can also be added as needed to enhance the visual effect.
3、 Design refinement
Pattern optimization: Optimize and adjust the preliminary design pattern. Check whether the proportion, lines, details, etc. of the pattern are reasonable and meet the requirements of the production process. The quality and readability of patterns can be improved by adjusting line thickness, adding shadows and depth, and removing unnecessary elements.
Text design: If text needs to be added to the badge, it is necessary to design and layout the text. The content of the text should be concise, clear, and easy to recognize, and the choice of font should match the style and theme of the badge. Different font sizes, colors, and special effects can be used to highlight key text.
Color adjustment: Adjust and optimize colors based on actual production effects and needs. You can simulate on a computer, view the effects of different color combinations, and choose the most suitable color scheme. At the same time, the influence of metal materials on color and the color performance under different lighting conditions should also be considered.
4、 Audit confirmation
Internal Audit: Conduct an internal audit after completing the design refinement. Design team members or relevant professionals evaluate and review the badge design, and provide modification suggestions and recommendations. Mainly check whether the design meets the requirements, whether it has creative and artistic value, and whether there are any production process issues.
Customer confirmation: Submit the design proposal to the customer for confirmation. Customers can root
