Episode 32 3 Ways to Convey Feeling in Your Projects, Art and Design

<div style="font-weight: 400;"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On today’s episode of the Make + Design Podcast, Carina walks us through three ways to evoke a feeling in our design work. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip 1: Color. This one is obvious for a reason. Carina talks about how the use of color in a fabric line she’s been working on changes the feelings that the line conveys. When you change up color it totally evokes a different feeling.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip 2: Texture or the lack of texture. Sometimes when we design in Illustrator or with software a design can feel very flat. Compare this to a painting where the texture of the paints is visible. Different textures evoke different feelings.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tip 3: Reference. Carina gives us a great example of what she means by reference by telling us the story of a vintage-feeling book she made while working on her Masters degree. The sans serif font she chose for the book did not fit the vintage feeling of the book, which called for a serif font. Reference is when something in our work evokes feelings based on the preconceived notions people have about that item in our work. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">__________</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Download Carina’s free guide: The 7 Tips Nobody Will Tell You About Becoming a Surface Pattern Designer here:</span> <a href= "http://eepurl.com/dN2RcY"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">http://eepurl.com/dN2RcY</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">__________</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>About Carina Gardner:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Carina Gardner is a fabric designer, paper designer, and design educator who is passionate about helping other designers fulfill their creative dreams by teaching them her strategies for making money as a designer.
