“Smarty Cat knows a trick or two to get more mileage out of
your designs: think creatively about getting multiple uses out of one design. For example, the single design elements shown on the left can be used as stand-alone graphics or combined to create an eye-catching masterpiece like the Halloween collage Smarty Cat cobbled together. And don’t worry, you don’t need nine lives to master this skill. Below are some guidelines and tips that Smarty has utilized over the years, and he swears they have worked ‘purrfectly’ for him. Remember, Smarty Cat is not just a pretty face; he knows a thing or two about design!”
Maximizing the usage of your graphic design elements is
essential to creating a versatile design asset (graphic) that
can be used individually or combined with other assets for
various applications. Start by creating a comprehensive
library of design elements, such as icons, illustrations, patterns, and textures, that are cohesive and complementary. Design them to be scaled, rotated, or modified without losing integrity. Use a consistent color palette, style, and theme that can be adapted across different platforms and mediums. Creating vector-based designs will allow you to resize your elements without losing quality, which is particularly important for appli-cations requiring different sizes and resolutions. Also, think about
modularity; create design elements that can be pieced together like a puzzle to form a larger design or used individually as standalone assets.
Furthermore, to maximize the usage of your design elements,
it is crucial to organize them efficiently. Keep your files neatly
organized in folders and subfolders with descriptive names.
This will help you, or any other designer, quickly locate and
combine different elements as needed. Use design software
features that allow you to create and manage libraries or
assets. For example, Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries enable
you to store, manage, and share your design assets across
applications and devices. Lastly, consider creating a style
guide with guidelines for using your design elements, such as
color codes, typography, and usage rules for your assets. This
will ensure consistency across all your designs and applications and make it easier for others to work with your design assets.
