Is your design delivering the right detail? 👉Design + Message = Result (take that lead home) What happens: Business owners get an amazing website. ❌Yet, fail to resonate. What SHOULD happen: Design and messaging need to work together. ✅ Direct key to sales. But, all is a waste with the wrong message. Great visuals is nothing, without.. solid messaging. Your UIX team SHOULD understand your, - message   - industry  - buyers’ favorites - their problems  - their age factor  - their gender When your design is based on research, It speaks your message. ▶️ Imagery Flash those HQ photos, illustrations, and icons. ▶️Color Scheme Choose colors that evoke emotions and associations aligned with your message. ▶️Consistency & Cohesion Develop brand guidelines that define your visual style and use it everywhere. Create a connection with your message.. on an emotional level. Not just a purely visual representation. PS: Does your Design and message work in sync?

The thing I love about design is that it’s everywhere. From your favorite film, to a website, to a petition or protest poster. Design becomes a powerful tool when used for change. Here are some best practices for designing for advocacy: 1. Clarity and Simplicity: Ensure your message is clear and concise. As one of my creative directors used to ask: “What’s the single most important thing we need to communicate?” Use straightforward language and get to the point. 2. Compelling Visuals: Use high-quality images, infographics, icons, or bold typography styles to grab attention, making your content more engaging and memorable. 3. Consistency: Maintain a consistent color palette, type, and branding across materials to build recognition with your audience. 4. Emotion: Let whatever the issue be fuel your passion for the design and choose color and imagery that represents that emotion. 5. Call to Action (CTA): Make sure that whatever you want people to do is prominent and easy to follow. Whether it’s signing a petition, sharing information, or attending an event, the next steps should be clear. 6. Accessibility: Design inclusively so that the materials are accessible to all. Use alt text for images, ensure good contrast, and choose readable fonts. 7. Test and Iterate: View your materials as fluid, test out different ideas, and see what works best. Design goes beyond aesthetics, it is part of communication and therefore impact. By following these practices, you can create advocacy materials that look great and drive action and change. - #design #advocacy #visualcommunication #petitions #bestpractices Photo Courtesy of Paulina Milde Jachowaska via Unsplash

"He doesn’t know shit from clay.” This was the moment I knew working with the legend that is Antony Whitaker would be a blast. In truth, I can’t remember who that line was aimed at, but this brutal eloquence was the driving force behind this brand refresh. Antony is an internationally renowned educator, writer, speaker, former CD of Sassoon, and Australian hairdresser of the year. He is the founder of Grow My Salon Business —an online platform to help salon owners grow. The pain point: The brand lacked consistency and authenticity, something many businesses feel. Our approach: We stripped it back to the bare bones and got to understand who Antony is and what made him tick. Through workshops, conversations, and Q&As, we got to know his passion for the industry, his wealth of experience, his unique sense of humour, and his ambition. This gave us everything we needed to refresh Grow across the website and supporting collateral. The creative tone: We boiled this down into two phrases. If the verbal and written identity is “Brutal Eloquence,” then the visual would be “Brutal Elegance.” The brand foundations had been laid, and this body of work was wrapped into a practical set of guidelines covering verbal, copy, visual and marketing templates we even gave guidance on emojis. What we refreshed: verbal identity, messaging, colour, font, typography, art direction, iconography, illustration, templates, apparel, UX, UI, stationery, motion. – 🙏 The team: Strategy and brand language Seth Rowden / Web development George Owens Grow Site: https://lnkd.in/eGnhFjcs Project Page: https://lnkd.in/ecyCRMik #brandrefresh #brandguidelines #consistency #consistentbranding #brandstrategy

Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋 Let me take you on a quick journey through the fascinating world of graphic and website design. 🌐✍️ Once upon a time, in the digital kingdom, a visionary designer (that's me! 🙌) embarked on a quest to turn creative dreams into visual masterpieces. Picture this: A client with a bold vision and a desire for a logo that speaks volumes. With each stroke of the digital pen, the logo emerged – a symbol of their brand's identity, ready to conquer the online landscape! But the adventure didn't stop there. Next up, a website awaited transformation. Navigating the realm of wireframes and color palettes, we sculpted an online sanctuary where creativity met functionality. The website became a storyteller, inviting visitors into a seamless journey of discovery. In this ever-evolving digital saga, I've come to realize the magic lies in collaboration. From entrepreneurs crafting their brand narrative to businesses seeking a digital home, every project is a unique chapter waiting to be written. So, here's an open invitation to fellow dreamers, creators, and digital adventurers! If you're ready to embark on your visual storytelling odyssey, let's connect. Whether it's a logo, a website, or the entire digital tapestry, I'm here to transform ideas into captivating realities. 🚀✨ Drop a comment or connect, and let the design adventures begin! 🌟 #GraphicDesignTales #WebsiteDesignJourney #DigitalAdventures #CreativityUnleashed
