A beautiful brand can still leave people unsure about what makes a business different.
That’s why I start by understanding the business.
Who are we trying to reach?
What do we want to be known for?
Why should someone choose this business over another option?
Once those things are clear, the design has a job to do.
The typography, colour, imagery and overall visual direction aren’t just chosen because they look good. They’re there to help communicate the right message, to the right people, in a way that feels distinctive and aligned with the business.
And that thinking carries through to the website too.
Good design can make a business look better.
Strategy helps make sure it’s saying the right thing.
Another note from inside my process.
