Graphic Designer's Memos about Branding Trends and Creative Moments
After spending almost two decades preparing graphics for others and planning their digital engagements I began to write memos to help solopreneurs create the solid brand design they need to succeed. You can access these memos by clicking on the Branding and Design section below.
Hi, I'm Margaret
I love to work on the details of digital images and plan small business branding strategies. Therefore, my focus is on Branding and Design. However, in other creative moments, I also pen memos about ways of making Money Online and Tales from my favorite travels. I hope these will also gather some interest.
Memos for Brand Builders is a collection of tips and templates to help you invent, build, and maintain a brand that will work for you and stay consistent.
Distinct niche selection helps you stand out in a crowded market, connect deeply with your audience, and streamline your marketing efforts. By focusing on a specific segment, you can build authority, foster loyalty, and ultimately create a sustainable, competitive edge for your brand.
Creativity is powerful, but without a clear brand strategy, it may miss the target. While your mission and plans define your proposition, your brand strategy explains: whom we serve, how it is done, why it is important, and what makes your brand unique.
Writing a mission statement and defining your brand’s core values is fundamental. They are like the heartbeat and soul of your business. They should set the tone and guide every branding and marketing decision you will make. That is why I talk about them before diving into colors and images.
The brand appearance is one of the most powerful ways to show what your business stands for. Once you’ve defined your brand’s mission, values, and ideal audience, you’re in a great position to design a look that stays true to those foundations. A thoughtful visual style helps express your brand personality and meets the expectations of the people you’re trying to reach.
You can ask AI to help you design your brand’s aesthetics. Just log in to ChatGPT, create a free account, and start the conversation. So, if it is so easy, and the machine is so smart why did I not begin explaining the brand design process from this?
