Top 10: Design Tips To Start 2010 Off Right!
1: Proofread everything so you always look sharp.
2: Use Web-safe colors and fonts in online advertising so your online design always looks the way it should.
3: Tailor your print ads to each publication. Think about the demographic you’re reaching out to.
4: Freshen up your custom stationery suite to help you look more professional. Extend this to invoices, fax cover sheets, etc.
5: Get out of your store, shop or office once in awhile to see what the competition is doing. Interact with potential new customers.
6: Make sure your Web site has the most important information (address, phone number, ordering info, etc.) in a visible and accessible spot. People are in a hurry now more than ever.
7: When working on promotional materials, show them to people outside of your organization. If they can’t figure it out quickly, rework it.
8: Consider customizing your social media presence online. If you’re not using social media to help promote your business, now’s a good time to start.
9: When printing, consider paying a little extra for a heavier stock paper. This will help you stand out from the competition.
10: When designing anything for the Web, remember that everyone has a different screen with a different resolution. To look your best, do some tests of your project with different settings.
