Creating A Great Political Logo
Monday Jan 24, 2022
Monday Jan 24, 2022
Whether you’re new to politics or have been in the game for years, you probably understand how important visual elements can be to a campaign. Policy proposals are certainly key, but logos and pictures connect with voters on a more direct level. By associating your campaign with a fresh, impactful image, you can cement your candidacy into the minds of the electorate. A smart, snappy logo is often the difference between failure and success.
The problem is that creating a great political logo is far from easy. Even big-name candidates with millions of dollars at their disposal often fall short. All the same, you can increase your chances of success by studying successful images from the past, learning about the main elements of a political logo, and keeping up with the latest trends. Armed with useful and relevant information, you’ll be ready to create the image that best suits your campaign.

6 Steps To Customer-Centric Writing
Tuesday Nov 30, 2021
Tuesday Nov 30, 2021
Most business owners start out with a laser-like focus on their business. They’ll swell with pride and “shout it from the rooftops” to tell you about their newest, exciting product or service. However, like the majority of people in business, they tend to take a business-focused approach, focusing on promoting the features or specs of the product and making sure that you know how this new product or service is the best of the best.

Instead, they want to hear about how your company will help THEM. They are more concerned that you understand their need and are offering a solution to address it.
Here’s where customer-centric writing and promotion comes in. Read more: https://burlingtonpress.com/2021/11/30/6-steps-to-customer-centric-writing/

Designing for A Color Blind Audience
Saturday Oct 16, 2021
Saturday Oct 16, 2021
What does your design look like when viewed through the eyes of someone who is color blind? Not everyone can see all colors, but they do need to be able to recognize what different colors can mean on some signs, particularly safety signs and notification signs. While accommodating color blind viewers is not yet a universal requirement to assist those with this disability, many countries do require such an accommodation. This means there is a precedent for constructing design work in this way. If you are asked to design something for color blind viewers, it can be done. Here are some ways you can approach it.
