Are stationery designers the \u2018blue collar\u2019 workers of the design industry or are they the underrated gems?<\/em><\/p>\n

I was reading a blog the other day and saw that a design firm had spotlighted a designer who specialized in stationery designs. This was a \u2018top designer\u2019 in his field for a specific crowdsourcing company. The blog article received a few comments most of them derogatory pertaining to the notion that stationery designs were easy to create and low on competition, hence there really could be no \u2018top designer\u2019.<\/p>\n

The bias apparent within those comments got me thinking are stationery designers less creative or are they simply passed over in terms of creativity? My answer?<\/p>\n

The majority of stationery designers are mediocre because the business environment restricts their inherent creativity. Unlike logo designs and website designs, stationery designs are overlooked in the business world. Corporations come to designers and request logo and website designs that are \u2018unique\u2019, \u2018creative\u2019 and \u2018eye-catching\u2019. However, when it\u2019s time for the stationery design<\/a> they are willing to work from templates and choose blindly.<\/p>\n

Every stationery designs looks the same-NOT<\/em><\/p>\n

To validate my own thoughts I did what every twenty first century writer would do-I Googled.<\/p>\n

I began to search for stationery designers that created the mediocre and hoped to find designers that would blow me away with the thought, \u201cNow why didn\u2019t I ask for a business card or letterhead that looks like that?\u201d<\/p>\n

The fact is in a digital business environment every business needs to be able to have a brand identity that stands out not in terms of \u2018whether it be through a logo, web-design or marketing material\u2019 but consistently through all the various mediums from logo to website design and stationery to traditional marketing media.<\/p>\n
