Honest (but nice) Letters from a Designer…
When you’re running your own business, we know that means you’re also an accountant, an administrator, a social media manager and a DIY designer. Designing your own graphics can feel great and creative at times, but sometimes it can turn into a chaotic scramble to pull something together!
Here are some honest (but nice) notes from a friendly designer, offering a little TLC for your creative projects.
We’re here to help you enhance your brand with design tips and tricks:
1. Dear Typeface Tangle
When it comes to fonts less is definitely more! Using too many fonts can leave your brand in a confusing tangle of typefaces, each fighting for attention. Untangle the mess by choosing one that truly resonates with your brand- making it clear, bold and unmistakably yours.
2. Dear Logo Labyrinth
Designing a logo isn’t just about making it look cool- it’s about leaving a mark that sticks and that reflects WHO you are as a business. Feeling stuck in a maze of options with too many things to choose from? DIY design is always a great option for day-to-day design needs, but we think that designing your logo and brand is one thing not to skimp on. Using a graphic designer to get that bit right helps you to create a bespoke and unique design that’s timeless, meaningful and powerful- a logo that stands tall and doesn’t get lost in the labyrinth of other brands. Once you nail that part, it’ll help you keep consistency in the rest of your DIY design!
3. Dear Palette Predicament
Colours aren’t just for pretty graphics, they’re for your brand’s voice to shout for attention. Think less “I need every colour of the rainbow” and more “I want a perfectly curated palette”. Let’s make sure your brand colour scheme works for your content and makes it POP!
DIY is easier when you have some guidelines to narrow down the options…
If you think we can help you with any of these DIY dilemmas, book in a chat and we can work together to create a brand that you can consistently reflect in your DIY design- we can even create templates to help make it EVEN easier.
We’re rooting for you and your business to bloom 🌱
