We Need Some Space

…white space, that is. In design, white space is the breathing room in and around content. It doesn’t literally have to be white—it doesn’t even have to be totally empty.

Not Everything is a Nail: A Client’s Guide to Creative Tools

Psychologist Abraham Maslow once wrote, “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” Applying that concept to your marketing materials, you may find yourself tempted to use the software you have at hand to create a brochure, sell sheet, flyer,…

Under the Influence(r)

Influencer marketing makes a lot of sense in business-to-consumer circles. Getting a lifestyle blogger with millions of followers to rave about a shoe brand will certainly help sell more shoes.
