Honestly I’m more into Metal then New Wave. Bashing E Chords through Marshall stacks is where it’s at for me, but that Talking Heads song takes the words right out of my mouth. This art stuff was just supposed to pay the bills. I was supposed to be polishing a Grammy by now, right?
“Life is what happens while you are busy doing other things.” said John Lennon – and boy was he right. After almost a decade designing for two music industry trade papers I somehow landed in the tech vertical back in 1999 …and haven’t left since. From designer, to art director to creative director…It’s been a non-stop learning process. While I still have to occasionally book some shows with the band so I can bring the rock – when I get home and the guitars and amps are tucked away, my mind inevitably wanders back to how I might tweak that latest Word Press plug-in I just tried.
Whether it be print publications, digital editions, or mobile apps…long form editorial will not go quietly. To the chagrin of bean counters at media companies you can’t completely dismiss the impact of a well-designed editorial piece. Nothing serves as a qualifier better then well-delivered thought leadership. Community driven content is very important but inevitably somewhere down the line, readers will be looking for what a qualified expert has to say.
Easily the fastest growing BtoB content delivery. You can’t open a website without tripping over an infographic. People like to graze on content and what better way to deliver bite-sized factoids then with stylized illustrations and short bold copy jigsawed together into an aesthetically pleasing snack.
The anchor of your company brand. A strong logo sets the tone and personality of a business. This one piece of art becomes the single most visible manifestation of your company. A well-designed logo is an essential part of any overall marketing strategy.
Years ago this simply meant media kits, brochures and sell sheets, These days any way you can leverage the company brand to give your team an edge is fair play. Well-designed marketing plan should include landing pages, micro sites, eblasts, whitepapers and infographics, as well as banner and print campaigns. These sales aids are intended to make the sales effort easier and more effective.
