The Impact of Good and Bad Design

First impressions have the power to make or break your business image. Corporate branding is what people first notice on logos, business cards, flyers, and collaterals. Here we discuss the crucial role design plays in establishing brand identity, presence, and credibility.



Distinguishing between good and bad design is often challenging to the untrained eye – especially given the abundance of choice. What makes a design ‘good’ is subjective. Some say it’s quick, clean, and gets straight to the point. Others say it’s a balance of elements and proper incorporation of the brand message.

No matter what you think, designing on your own is tough. Those who have tried know that it is a non-stop process of brainstorming and redrafting that takes a toll on time. This is where we come in.

Expert Tips

1. STRAIGHTFORWARD IDEA
Your idea must be clear and concise. This helps formulate and draft designs that reach your target market accurately.

2. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
Walk in the shoes of your target audience to critically question your design’s appeal and influence.
Your feedback will embolden ideas, craft crisper messages, and lend crystal clear direction Got the resources to conduct surveys? Go for it! Survey responses will throw up fresh ideas and turn your eye towards stuff you may have missed. 

3. USE IMAGES
Visuals break the monotony of text blocks that nobody bothers to read. Ensure your images are not only eye-catching but also meaningful; they should reflect your brand’s idea, voice, and message.

4. COLOUR
Colours evoke emotion. Select ones that resonate with your brand’s core offering. They will set the tone and backdrop for all future creatives, be it print or digital.
