Trends change with regularity, the designs we see online, in print and generally around in the world move on – they have to to keep us all interested, to keep things fresh and to move alongside the way we are talking to people. The falvours of this month or this year take steps forwards and backwards as well – we are all familiar with those retro moments. Here are some ideas culled from the web to give you a taste of what is what in certain eyes.

Colour, Design, Trends – 2017, what’s happening

We all need to use some imagery in what we put out there to promote what we do, what we sell, what we provide. Using a resonant colour in that, not only for our logo but across the board, helps the whole process along. It adds its own message subtly.

Boost brands, influence behaviour and convince your clients.

This month the focus is on design elements. Many recent trends have involved user patterns, color or typography, but here it’s all about subtle techniques. Essential trends to take note of include downpage navigation, boxes as a design element and plenty of vertical lines and movement. Here’s what’s trending in design this month: 1. Downpage Navigation Designers seem to be in quite the experimental phase when it comes to navigation these days. From vertical, side navigation options to pop-out styles to downpage styles, menu items are kind of all over the place. While downpage navigation used to be a distinct no-no, it can grow on you. And as more designers opt for this user pattern, it will become more generally accepted. Here’s a word of caution: If you opt for downpage navigation, keep a close eye on website analytics to ensure that your visitors understand the pattern and are continuing to click. This technique might not work for all audiences. So how do you make it work? The best

Summer Marketing and Design Bundles

As the seasons change our sensibilities change, our moods alter, what we look for moves on. So the question is – should our branding and marketing change as well, along with the design and copy that goes with it? Personally I would say yes! While we may hope for warmth and sun in winter, in summer we look for ways to enjoy it perhaps, sometimes we look to escape its harshness – come on! we have all managed a little sunburn here and there, haven’t we?

With the change in seasons we can put a different slant on things. We can set our products and services in this weather and all that it brings with it (apart from the snow shovelling services, of course!). Think about the emotions, wishes, wants and needs running through these days. Ask yourself how can you reflect your products and services in all that is going on – practically for people and in their minds, emotions and all the rest. Is there a summer side to you and your business?Summer Watercolor Floral BUNDLE by LarysaZabrotskaya available for $15.00 at DesignBundles.net

If you need help with all of this given your busy schedules talk to us. We are here to help and to throw a little imagination on the barbie (no, not Ken!).

You could perhaps refresh a number of things:

  • try a new print run, new business cards, flyers, brochures, leaflets
  • put out a new e-book catalogue, services handbook
  • re-style your social media channels with new banners, new ads and posts
  • try a new seasonal social media campaign
  • redesign your website, or at least give it one or two new features, designs, statements
  • give yourself a new logo, seasonal or not!

We can help with all of this, or at least give you a few ideas.

It really can be useful to give your business a new look, at least in part, every once in a while. It does not have to be a massive makeover but just a refreshing of your style, design etc. – quite possibly well in keeping with your existing design but something with a slightly new face to it. Design is always being updated in terms of not only what is possible but the current flavours of the day – there are generally a few options running at any one time.
