People’s attention spans are short. If your brand doesn’t grab your target’s attention in a split second, they’ll move on. Visuals speak louder than words, more so than ever before. Your branding design needs to be unique. It must have the ability to stand out against the crowd and it should be easily recalled after just a glance. It needs to communicate clearly, confidently and positively. It must be relevant and it must be tailored to your target audience. Listed below are several articles that I have written about branding design. Enjoy the read or contact me to discuss!

Know your colours. How to use colours in your branding. Colours have the power to convey and communicate meanings and messages without words. It is the most important component of a logo design and by far what people remember the most, much more so than the shape or word of the logo itself.
