Designing a custom pin requires attention to detail and creative flair to ensure it captures the desired aesthetic.
Art proofs are more than just a pretty rendition of your design. This is a good opportunity to review your pin design in detail and make any necessary changes before final production. In today’s post on design, we have five details that are extremely important to check in your art proof.
Designing a custom pin requires careful attention to details, particularly during the art-proof stage. You can make sure that your pin is exactly what you want by carefully reviewing important elements like design accuracy, text quality, graphic clarity, dimensions and finishing details. By carefully reviewing these elements in the artproof, you will minimize any errors or discrepancies. This will ultimately lead to a product that is worthy of your pride. If you’re using the pin for branding, promotional campaigns or personal use, it is important to check these details. This will ensure that your pin will stand out and make a lasting impact.
Designing A Custom Pin: 5 Details To Check In Your Art Proof
When designing a custom pin, consider factors like color scheme, logo placement, and size to create a visually appealing final product.
Names, Grammar, And Spelling
You can add text or a custom pin with a name. Check it twice and three times! Spellcheck is not going to help you every time. It’s important to double-check proper nouns, such as names, brands, places, and organizations. Austin trim confirms anything that appears unclear or incorrect. You’re more likely to catch details such as the spelling of an individual’s or company’s name, or whether it was “Kevin”, vs.
Font Choice
Double-check that the font you choose matches the idea and tone of your pin design. You can make any changes you like at the proofing stage. This is where you will be able to see how the text looks and the impression it makes.
Font psychology has become increasingly important in how we communicate ideas and tone with text. Attention will be drawn to large fonts and capitalization. Traditional sleek designs are a great way to convey ideas and text without taking away from your design. You can easily test different fonts and see how they affect the personality of your pin by looking at your art proof.
Color And Brand Imagery
Keep an eye on the assets of your brand, from the logo’s look to the colors and font of an emblem. This will help you keep the brand as true to its identity as is possible. When it comes to establishing your brand and making a lasting impact, the imagery you use is crucial. If you have a color scheme for your brand, or an organization that has one, be sure to match the Pantone colors in any design with what you are looking for.

You can easily get distracted with design details and customizations, only to realize later that you are missing an important emblem or feature! You can never go wrong by going through the bullet points of what you want on your pin and checking off the first artproof!
It’s often too late to make major changes once your order has been confirmed and sent to manufacturing. Consider what you would like to remove from a design in order to make it more sleek and what parts are essential.
Custom Pin Shape
Pin shape is one of the basic elements in your design. It determines how your design will look and feel. Do not think of your lapel pin design as a sketch on a white background. Consider your lapel pin an accessory that you can wear. Does the shape of your design convey the visual impact you want? Do you have a particular profile in mind for your pin? Do you prefer a symmetrical, or asymmetrical, shape for your worn pin? This is your first chance to ensure that the pin shape matches your requirements and has the desired look. It’s also a great way to try out some of the unique customization options, such as danglers and 3D molding.
