Also known as BRSRKR in his freelance guise, Mooij is a 21-year-old designer with a particular interest in typography, identity and, more recently, new media. “I discovered visual communication when I was very young, when my aunt gave me a world atlas for my birthday and my mother gave me a set of colouring pencils and books.” He was immediately hooked on the possibilities of visual design, and by time he turned 16 was taking on small commissions from local party organisers to produce flyers. At 18, he enrolled in Monterrey’s design institute to determine if graphic design really was for him: “In a matter of three months I completely fell in love with my career,” he says.

Still studying on his design course, Mooij is determined to finish his education before making a move. “I’ve had some very interesting job offers from people in Mexico City, London, Austin in Texas and my home town,” he says, “but I can’t just barge off to another country yet. I certainly plan on it in the future, though.”

Oil A personal project, ‘Oil’ was inspired by “the value of oil in the world and how it has caused international disturbances,” Mooij explains. “I decided to explore an ‘oily’ aesthetic, mixed with typography, and fell in love with the style.”

Graphic Design Article

Did you know that colour and visual elements activate the right brain (emotions), while the printed words activate the left brain (logic)? Colour and Typography remain to be the two most important elements in design. When you harmoniously combine them all you attract a quicker attentionx to the subject, reinforce impact and recognition, help in establishing powerful identities and brand, set a mood.
Today we’ll examine the DOs and DON’Ts in designing with colour, and next time we’ll investigate the topic of Typography.

Babies are colour-dominant: they are more attracted by colour than form. And even though we generally become more form-dominant as we mature, colour still plays an important role on how we perceive the message. For instance, why does red always call to attention? Whether you want to tweak the colours of your site, or design an ad or a poster to attract people to your products or services, or even paint the walls in your house, these colour essentials should help you in becoming more colour-wise.

DO take time to learn the colour wheel. All colours are
made up of three primaries: red, blue and yellow. When you combine the primaries, you get the three secondary colours: orange, purple and green. When you combine each secondary colour with its neighboring primary, you get six tertiary colours: yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-purple, red-purple, red-orange. That’s how you get the familiar 12-colour wheel.

I personaly think this is a really good article that talks about something very interesting that maybe some graphic designers dont know yet. Is fun to know how colours afect us and we dont even notice! But as a graphic designer we need to know those things to persuade people that is basically our job, so I really liked this article.
