Why does a colour change on different paper types?
Why does a colour change on different paper types?
Paper can affect how your chosen brand colour looks depending on the paper type and finish.
In this short video, I explain why this occurs.

Today was a meeting of what is called the Fellowship. This is a group of 10 Content Marketing Academy members who meet up once a month to discuss content marketing, how to implement it and help each other move their businesses forward.
This week the group kindly gave me some extra time by putting me in a hot seat and helped me to answer some questions I had and to solve some business related problems.
This group is awesome and I love them for the support they give me.
Being a sole trader can be a lonely and scary place at times, but by surrounding yourself with great, supportive people like this group, it not only gives you a forum to discuss your business issues but keeps you motivated too.
Big shout out to:
Allan, Cara, Chris, Julie, Caroline, Vicky, Pam, Ali & Flo. They are all legends!
If you work alone, then I highly recommend that you seek out like minded individuals and form your own group :)
Stay Creative!

GRAPH
graphic-designers-imposter-syndrome-and
In this Rock Your Brand Livestream I'm going to be talking about Impostor Syndrome and Burnout. These two things are very common, not just among designers, but across all types of industries.
Why have I decided to talk about this subject today? Well, I'm not immune to the effects of this myself, and I felt that it was important as an experienced designer and I feel it is important to talk about it. To discuss the symptoms and what might we do to get ourselves out of feeling this way.
Stay Creative!

A BRA
a-brand-odyssey-a-look-at-the-design
The Content Marketing Academy (CMA) was in desperate need of a brand identity that worked. The existing logo really didn't reflect the energy and personality of the business, its membership, or that of its owner, Chris Marr.
In late 2016 Chris hired myself and my good friend Ross Coverdale to take on the task of re-branding his business.
In June 2017, Ross and I took to the stage at the CMA Live conference at The Hub in Edinburgh to talk through the journey and the processes of creating the new CMA brand identity.

BRAND
brand-like-a-superhero
Hey folks,
I gave this talk at a Content Marketing Academy event about thinking like a superhero when it comes to your brand and brand creation.
Sometimes it can be hard to think about personality and tone of voice when you are looking at a service or a product. How do you give it personality and life?
The answer is pretty simple. Imagine it as if it were a person and then decide how you think that person would speak to the target audience.
If you struggle thinking about how to give your brand a personality, a tone of voice as well as what differentiates your brand from a competitor, then you should give it a watch.
Stay Creative!

SIMPL
simplicity-in-logo-design
Simplicity in logo design.
A big problem for a lot of businesses when it comes to their logo is that it is too complex. This causes issues when it comes to reducing the size of the logo or limiting the number of colours that can be used. The reason it is complex is that either they or the logo designer has tried to add too many things to the logo. The key to good logo design is what you can take away.
In this video, I'm going to show you how we created a simple looking logo for a business using just basic shapes, but that still captured the essence of the businesses name and service.
Stay Creative!

Some days just seem to be packed with so many things, but at the end of the day when you try to remember what you've done, you can't remember a lot of it! is that just me?
Highlights of today:
Gavin Bell from Blue Cliff Media giving up some of his time to give me some advice on Facebook adverts. Very useful it was too.
Worked on some new logo concepts for a client, coming along nicely :)
Did a Facebook Live in the Rock Your Brand Facebook group where I did the prize draw from Friday's competition. You can watch that in the Rock Your Brand Group (link below).

WHY Y
why-you-should-use-a-vector-file-for
Why you should use a vector file for your logo and not a raster bitmap.
When you are having a logo designed it is always best to have it created as a vector graphic. Vector files can be resized without any loss of quality.
