How Graphic Design Can Help Grow Your Business

Brand Identity, Brand Awareness, and Name Recognition

The start of your brand identity is your logo. Your logo is your fingerprint. Your logo is how consumers will recognize your business from the competition. It tells people the name of the company and it creates a visual symbol that represents your business. Having a great and memorable logo is the start of what will set your business apart. Needless to say, your logo is that one graphic that follows you.

Graphic design also incorporates photography, colors, illustration, typography, sound, and motion graphics blending these elements into appealing images that capture attention, sell products and services, and open new markets. Why does your brand need a visual identity? Your audience needs to be able to recognize your brand and see consistency. This recognition translates into a memorable and trusted brand in the eyes of your audience.

Enhances User Experience

Graphic design enhances everything.

Have you ever been to a website that\'s all text, a simple HTML with no CSS and no images, and not responsive?

Would that site interest you? Chances are you would navigate away from the website.

Colorful graphics are pleasing to the eyes and make reading the content more interesting. It also promotes interaction. And using your brand colors in your designs and throughout your business digitally or in print can build trust and brand authority.

Perhaps you came across a flyer and the font size was the same throughout, no emphasis placed on the date and time of the event, no separation of title, no imagery, no color just black and white, word count was 2000, etc. Would you feel motivated to read through it?

You probably couldn\'t even tell it was promoting an event at first glance.

Graphic design is vital to the success of your business. It enhances the user experience. It has the ability to convert large groups of text into interesting images or graphics telling a visual story. \r\n

Can you imagine having a promotional ad that didn\'t match the graphic, or the graphic was so cluttered or bad that it confused the viewer or better yet turned them away?

Graphics and images can help establish a positive impression and effectively communicate the message.
