Graphics, illustrations, design – f4mmedia – resources

Every business at some stage needs to add to its online graphic content, illustrations aid the message you are sending out to potential clients/customers. Similarly it is also needed for print work, display items and more. I have talked a lot about design styles. There are all too many usual business images – corporate and similar design styles. There are times, though, when you need to do something a little different. Perhaps it is the social sector you want to talk to – perhaps they are of a slightly different age group or perhaps have a different taste in visual styles.

Take a little time to think about what you need to express and then how to do it – what resources will you need? Perhaps a slightly arty approach might be useful every once in a while.

Beautiful, free images and photos that you can download and use for any project. Better than any royalty free or stock photos.

Marketing to Millennials

As you may well know I am well away from that age bracket and yes there are so many times when I am in need of a translator when dealing with such. I do manage to get through every once in a while … sometimes even without my smartphone in my hand! OMG!

Every age group has its own tastes, tendencies, particular language and use of equipment/machines/apps/channels blah blah … For those of us who remember black and white tv getting through either business wise or personally to those of a very different age range – well it’s difficult … jus totes!  yes just playing …

This is fine for many businesses but then perhaps it is time to take a serious think about your whole content. Sure time is of the essence, we are all incredibly busy, but then perhaps the right post, worded in an interesting way, adding enticement with graphics, illustrations that add to that enticement can be more than time saving. For some businesses, products and services a little more invention can be just the thing.
