Most designers learn colour, layout, and typography, but miss the one theory that quietly controls whether a design actually communicates or completely falls flat.

1️⃣ One-on-one mentoring for a limited number of spaces: https://logodesignprocess.com/mentorship/

In this video, I break down symbolic interaction in graphic design and why it sits at the core of visual communication. We look at how logos, typography, icons, colour, texture, shapes, subliminal messaging, nostalgia, emotional design, and even sensory branding all work together to influence how people think and feel. From Porsche and McDonald’s to Starbucks, Spotify, Squid Game, GTA 6, Obama’s Hope poster, and more, you’ll see exactly how symbolism and psychology shape the success of real design work.

You’ll also learn how to apply these ideas to your own projects through practical redesign examples, audience psychology, shape psychology, emotional clarity, visual cues, and smarter design decisions that make your work feel more intentional, memorable, and effective. If you want to understand why some designs instantly hit while others don’t, this video will change how you look at graphic design from this point forward.

If you enjoy this kind of deeper design thinking, make sure to subscribe and let me know in the comments which example hit you the hardest.
