What separates a regular, plain Jane graphic image, from a sale grabbing image? Has any one managed to answer this question, even asking the question in the first place? Or is designing a graphic image just a process of artistic or mechanical processes based on the graphic artist learned techniques of style?
Being that I was in a few marketing programs over the years, I came to realize that many of the internet marketing advertisements used online and else where adopt a system of playing with words to trigger a individuals hot buttons that has an impact on the reader. An example would be such as, "Are You Tired Of Working For Peanuts?" Since many people probably feel that they do not get paid what they are worth, that sentence may grab that type of individuals attention in a headline. Another example might be, "Work At Home, Fire the Boss!" Who would not like to work at home? Setting your own hours. Unless of course, you want, or would like to get away from your house. But I feel many of us would like that feeling of independence and the challenge. So again, these persuasive, or rather light manipulative techniques exist in almost every part of marketing today. The call to action is the game plan. getting the reader to act, to buy now!
Your probably have ask yourself, "What the heck does this all have to do with designing a graphic?" I promise, if you read on you will surely see.
Aside from the play on words, graphics are part of the equation if you plan to do any advertising, whether it be with a print ad, business cards, letterhead, envelopes, banner ads, and/or via a web site. If you are a graphic designer you will want to learn more about marketing and the psychology of making things look attractive through several means. If you learn what many call, "Hot Buttons" which simply means using a trigger word or visual image to capture the attention of the reader, one that really hits home to that individual to where they will want with baited breath, to go look for more information or type in their name and email address to a auto responder, you will have what it takes to make more sales
I have taking all of this a bit further in designing my graphics for myself and my clients. Besides the psychological aspects of trigger words and visual images, such as an image of a stack of one hundred dollar bills for ads placed to attract those wanting to make money, or a cute puppy or kitten for a mail order pet supply company, color can play an important part in the design as well.
Some might say that this is really taking the simple process of designing a advertising graphic too far. But I say, "Why not look at all angles?" Even if you are simply into graphic designing as an artistic individual, wouldn't it help to look at all the different angles that might sell your work, or have it sell itself?
Color can play a role in your graphic designs. I have studied color from two different angles, one from acrylic and oil painting for several years, and then from a spiritual position. Some might say how does New Age play a part in advertising? It is not so much the spiritual, but the psychology of color and how it affects us. There have been many studies on the effects of color. One such experiment included a school where the wall of the classroom were painted orange or red. In that color scheme the children became restless and irritable. Another experiment was conducted in a prison where the walls were painted pink. The results were that the inmates became more relaxed and it cut down on violent outbreaks.
After my study of aromatherapy I realized it would be a neat idea if we could some how produce scents to go along with our products to coax individuals to a purchase. Just think of the rate of sales if we could combine all the triggers, such as the trigger words and/or images, the scent and color. What about subliminal messages flashed in the background? I think that may be still illegal, so we will let that one go. So to sum up this entire article on graphic design, I am simply, but not simply saying that in designing your graphics, whether they are to be used as web graphics, print ad graphics, business card graphics, etc., pay attention to more than making it look cool.
I strive in every graphic design I create, to take different aspects and approaches to build unique graphic designs for fun and for profit. I would like to ask those interested in my style or in my methods to please visit my web site and sign our guest book. You can see my work at www.homangraphics.com.

Branding With Promotional Products - By: Gareth Parkin
Branding can be quite powerful. Most new businesses fail within their first five years, and in many cases, the reason is because the product or services was not branded. When no thought goes into branding, your customers can’t pick you out in a crowd. One of the easiest ways to help brand your company is to use promotional products.
What is branding anyway? Simply put, branding is setting your products or service apart from others within the industry. It’s the way you create certain thoughts and feelings in a consumer when you say your company name. For example, McDonald’s has been branded to be a happy place catering to families. Recently, they’ve also begun branding McDonald’s to have healthier fast food options, especially for children. With their various ad campaigns, product choices, etc., McDonald’s hopes to be the first place brought to mind when someone wants fast food. Branding also means a recognizable logo (the arches) and even colors (red and yellow).
Of course, not everyone can spend millions of dollars branding their business like McDonald’s does! Promotional products and promotional items are a great way to help this branding because they are affordable and fun. If you want to brand your company in a way in which to show consumers that you are fun-loving, you might use promotional products that make noise, contain lights, and change colors. On the other hand, if you want to convey an image of being practical, promotional mugs, promotional pens, and other such products can help you.
No matter what specific products you choose, remember that uniformity is key in branding. In other words, take your logo and past use it on everything. This is not the time to be creative. If your company headquarters has a purple sign, make purple key rings. If you use the slogan “Your one-stop shop” in your radio advertisements, print this same logo on your pencils.
After all, there are probably at least 10 other businesses competing with yours. You want certain colors, logos, fonts, slogans, and so forth to be unique to your company—and you want consumers to identify these things with you. That’s what branding is all about. By using promotional products to reinforce your design choices, you can build your branding efforts.
Also note the promotional products and business gifts can go where you cannot. You can’t always travel the country with your products, but you can send an employee armed with promotional products to conventions and fairs around the world. Customers who normally would not think about your business will soon be calling your for shipments, simply because the promotional products you’ve released have reached them. Branding is so powerful that you may find people begin simply to refer to you by your branding techniques. For example, if I said I was looking for some golden arches, you would probably assume I meant McDonald’s! Use promotional products to have the same effect in your community. Branding is an important aspect of any business marketing and promotional products and corporate gifts can help.

Build Your Business Brand Through Boundaries - By: James C. Tanner
One rarely has to go far in their business reading to stumble across an article or book on the subject of building or developing a business brand. Developing brands has become one of the "Hot Topics" of the entrepreneurial world today. Not too long ago I received an ezine article entitled "Building Your Brand Through Blogging!". In the weeks previous, almost every other article or book to cross my desk, touched on this very subject with great care and detail, everyone of them missing on one critical aspect of branding a business. You cannot build and maintain over the long haul, a business brand without the clear establishment of "boundaries".
Boundaries are invisible and symbolic "fences" that have three basic purposes. First, to keep unwanted competitors, customers, personnel, and/or any other business related entities from coming into our space, destroying our focus, and abusing us or our business. Secondly, to keep us from going into the space of others and doing the same. Thirdly, to give each of us a way to embody our business with a sense of "who we are"as a brand and a business.
A boundary is a means of setting limits that enhance a personal and/or a business ability to have a sense of self and identity. Boundaries control the impact of reality on the individual and/or business entity as well as those around it. The sole purpose of a boundary is to contain and protect reality.
In the world of business, there are two main components to boundaries. The external system and the internal system. The external system protects the business and controls distance as well as touch (the outward projection of our business actions in our community) in business relationships or activities. The internal system protects business thinking and behavioral processes (what goes on inside the walls of our business). The internal system acts like a filter and functions in conjunction with the external system.
Boundaries are created by first, visualizing your external and internal systems. Then creating business and personal statements which clearly define those external and internal boundaries. Those statements being simplified enough to be easily committed to memory. A mission or purpose statement, a code of ethics, code of personal conduct, a business plan, a marketing plan, all of these are part and parcel of the statements which clearly define your business boundaries.
Boundaries without accountability are useless, and as a leader you expect the best from those around you. As the leader, it's your role to hold them to the higher standard. Once you are clear about your boundaries, you must educate people on how to act in accordance with your business boundaries. If you never tell people how to treat you or your business, they will treat you in whatever way they so choose. When you say nothing, as a leader, you surrender your authority to lead.
Part of being a leader means demanding excellence of others, and never settling for anything less. When workers come up short of excellence, as the leader, it's your job to bring it to their attention. When you assert yourself and point out inappropriate, or less than stellar performance, you demonstrate leadership, exhibit self respect and become a role model for others.
In the business world, if your business boundaries are clearly defined in writing, include them in an employee manual and present a copy to every employee upon being hired. When boundaries are violated, it makes it easier for an employer to sit down with that employee and review from the employee manual where things went astray.
Finally, there is an important subject to touch upon before one can walk away from the subject of building a business brand through the use of boundaries, and that pertains to the personal conduct of leaders. One of the great pitfalls which swallows many a great leader is the arrogance that comes with success. With arrogance often comes recklessness. A leader in society, or in the corporate world is a leader 24/7 and his or her conduct must reflect so. Many great leaders fall flat on their face due to the lack of personal boundaries in their own lives and especially in the area of sexual conduct, or best stated, mis-conduct. Leadership is a lonely place to be, it takes men and women of incredible inner steel to stand alone over long periods of time in the face of making tough unpopular decisions. When society around a leader may be willing to compromise, true leaders hold to the line, "Others may, I cannot!"
While great effort and care needs to be taken in building a business brand, even greater effort and care needs to be taken in building a personal brand. The grandchildren of a corporate leader may never understand the business accomplishments of their grandparent, but they will never forget the personal ethical downfalls, and the private events that lead to loss of face, loss of honor, loss of glory, on the home front. Great leadership begins at home, and is simply reflected in the workplace. It begins in your own personal life, bringing your private inner world in order. Contrary to popular opinion, great leaders are not dictators, they are people who through personal example, give strength to those around them, causing people to want to emulate them.
Before one can succeed in building an effective and successful business brand, they must first fight the good fight, and learn how to build their own personal brand as a human being.

Logo Modification: Think, Reflect, Act - By: Suzanne
window.google_render_ad();
Have you noticed a drop in your business sales in recent times? Has the focus of your business shifted gears gradually? Is your brand unable to inspire your customers any more? If your business poses such questions before you, it is time to lend some serious thought to improve your brand identity. Needless to say, your logo is your brand identity and should therefore reflect the vision of your business in true light.
Businesses undergo lots changes with the flow of time. Over the years, many small businesses are converted into large business firms with different interests and vision. Herein crops up the need to pay attention to its brand identity. Your logo should reflect your organization's central motif so as to keep in touch with its business. For instance, a script typeface cannot be associated with a car repair business. Your logo design should make the customers associate the brand with its product.
An important point, not to be overlooked, is the functionality of a logo. Your logo should have the ability to be incorporated into any context. Besides, it should be legible enough to be printed in both paper and cloth. To produce such an effect, use of 'spot colors' is highly recommended. Besides, ‘spot colors’ also prevent the mixing of all the inks at the print shop. It's best to avoid complex images or shading as they are unlikely to produce the desired effect.
Prior to giving the green signal to your new logo design, it is very essential to do your homework. Analyze the logo designs of your competitors to ensure that your logo does not end up looking like their replicas. 'Unique' is the term that best describe a good logo. In case your logo design bears similarity with your competitors, you might end up confusing your customers. This might even lead to your company being branded as a duplicate one. So beware... don't let your logo resemble any of your competitors!
It is best to hire the services of a logo design company to lend full justice to your logo. The intricate aspects of designing as space, form, consistency, and clarity can only be handled by a professional logo designer, who can give your logo design a unifying look. The lines, spacing, and shape should be able to create a sense of unity. Positioning, weight, and balance should be able to attract attention and affect how the onlookers understand it.
To conclude, your logo design should be able to exude the feeling of being the right one! In case, you try to design one for yourself, make sure to produce the right feel. If you fail, consult a professional logo designer. Hiring the services of any logo design firm can give you enough scope to pick the design that suits your business best. Never forget: your business is your identity; don't mess with it!

A Cool Business Name - By: nelson smith
A Cool Business Name is one of the first things to consider when starting a business. After all, a Cool Business name is going to be one that people remember and will distinguish you from the rest of the pack. By having a cool business name, the first impressions people get of your business will be positive, and as they say it's first impressions that count. You don't always get a second bite of the cherry in business!
By having a cool business name, the first step of luring customers in should be the easy part. People are naturally curious and will want to check out your business to see what you have to offer.
Choosing a cool business name really is a big task. So you need to break the process down and take a look at your business as a whole. What is your business model currently? What might you be doing in the future? By naming your business on your current business activities limits your potential to expand future business activities.
For example, you choose a really cool business name for a sandwich bar and limit the business name to Sandwich Man. Then two years down the road after people know and love you as Sandwich Man, you decide to expand and open a nice restaurant that opens of an evening above the sandwich bar. A nice restaurant called Sandwich Man? I don't think so! Get the point?
Also look at the type of services or products that you are offering. If you have a wide range of varying products then a cool business name should be a generic one that will not isolate any of those products or services. Google is a good example. What does Google mean? It's a catchy name that means nothing, but is now known by millions and millions of people. It is so generic that it can cover any topic.
Sometimes it's a good idea to find a cool business name that is funny. Anything that will make a person smile will also melt any initial consumer frostiness. Humour is a great attraction in any walk of life! Choosing a cool business name is coming up with a name that will stick in people's mind. A name they can't get out of their head. Something catchy, whitty, saucy or bold, don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. If you can do this then you really will have found a cool business name.

Logo- The Power To Drive A Brand - By: jenni4321LOGO is a powerful symbolic representation of a company. It’s a graphic symbol designed to differentia
LOGO is a powerful symbolic representation of a company. It’s a graphic symbol designed to differentiate companies or products from their competitors in the market. It’s the first step towards building an enduring brand. The logo is considered a unique signature belonging to one individual, establishing an initial, prominent corporate presence. It is very important that a company logo creates a visual impact and ensures instant recognition. Branding is a complex and demanding process, and undoubtedly, it is the logo that heightens the prospect of your brand by allowing it to be perceived as a competent product. The only way to achieve maximum effectiveness in the marketing field is to design a logo in accordance with the nature of your business. A great logo marks the “first impression” for your business.
Today, successful companies continue to believe in the motto, "the simpler, the better". For instance Coca-Cola., McDonalds, Pepsi, and Nike are some of the most successful logos which are simple yet easy to remember. The consistent use of these logos has been imperative in creating a strong, unified image for the people. Pablo Picasso said, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” Observing the logos of your competitors is very essential, and you should notice the type of image that they convey. Of course, the design that has been influenced by another should still be unique. The symbol in the logo is the best place to tell the story of what makes your business unique. Logo designs should be very stylish, which will make them eye-catching. Companies should relentlessly pursue the process of building the brand to gain a long-term competitive advantage. A good company logo design can prove to be the ideal solution to the brand building process.
Colors play a vital role in designing company logos. It is necessary to find a suitable color combination that will have an everlasting appeal to the people. The font employed in the company logo accentuates the impression of prestige and individuality held by the firm. The logo continues to be developed until it is "just right." One should design the stems of the leaves to match the line quality of the font, so that the icon of the logo is unified with the text.
A logo stands for everything a company or product represents. It is the reflection of the company’s vision. A logo would give the company ‘quality, value and origin’. A perfect logo with the right branding message and aggressive marketing strategy can be a lethal combo for establishing a brand and helping a company achieve its desired market share.

Logos: Creating the Visual Impact! - By: Suzanne
‘It's hard to believe when heard, but easier when seen.’ It's common observation that a thing becomes more convincing when witnessed. This simple theory has been applied in every walk of life, be it personal or professional. Business organizations have been utilizing this theory from days past and making their presence felt all over the world. This visual impact is created via a symbolic representation of the business or products, thus giving a face to a faceless organization. Standing as the symbolic representation of any organization, logos lend an identity to your business. Hence logos should have the power to create the much-needed visual impact on the onlookers.
However simple it might look initially, creating a visually effective logo design is not a child's play. Every intricate detail needs to be looked after in order to produce a quality design. Understanding your business objectives is one of the primary necessities that help in the making of a good logo. For instance, it would be ridiculous for a restaurant business to display a logo featuring a pet or a swoosh! If the restaurant business owner wants his initials used as a logo, care should be taken to give it a wholesome look. This would directly complement his business and serve its purpose as well.
After understanding the business objectives, logo designers should concentrate on the little details that go into the process of logo designing. Colors must complement the business. The borders, shades and other effects should effectively bring out what the logo wants to convey. Simplicity should top the priority list of logo designers. It is to be remembered that a simple but unique logo creates the necessary appeal. The famous logo designs of Nike, McDonalds, and Sony hardly need any mention. These logos have undergone very little change over the years. For instance, the Sony logo has been modified a few times, but only in its font. For logos to retain their visual power, designers should experiment with the changing trend but not overdo it by resorting to drastic changes.
It is indeed fruitful to put in a little labor to produce a visually effective logo design. If your logo is visually effective, it will surely raise the eyebrows of many and prompt them to take interest in your business. All you need to do is to retain the trust that your logo promises to deliver. Once this is set, your business is sure to skyrocket and establish its identity in the eyes of the world.

The borders, shades and other effects should effectively bring out what the logo wants to convey. Simplicity should top the priority list of logo designers. It is to be remembered that a simple but unique logo creates the necessary appeal. The famous logo designs of Nike, McDonalds, and Sony hardly need any mention. These logos have undergone very little change over the years. For instance, the Sony logo has been modified a few times, but only in its font. For logos to retain their visual power, designers should experiment with the changing trend but not overdo it by resorting to drastic changes.
It is indeed fruitful to put in a little labor to produce a visually effective logo design. If your logo is visually effective, it will surely raise the eyebrows of many and prompt them to take interest in your business. All you need to do is to retain the trust that your logo promises to deliver. Once this is set, your business is sure to skyrocket and establish its identity in the eyes of the world.
