When presentation isn’t enough…
Recently, I walked to the local farm and was watching the male Peacocks trying to get the attention of the females. The male was diligently flaunting himself with a full plume of feathers’ to an unimpressed female. After a few seconds he gave up and tried to entice another impassive female. He was so adamant in his proposal that he started shaking his feathers and dancing for her.
Well she wasn’t impressed, but I certainly was.
This got me thinking about graphic design. Design is about presentation but also goes beyond that. You may have a beautiful presentation but if it’s not scoring the client what can you do? Many of us in visual communications have experienced this, have you?

How Color and Design Affect Branding
Interesting read at KISSmetrics. Did you know that color increases brand recognition by 80% and is directly linked to consumer confidence? When marketing new products, consider that 93% of consumers place visual appearance and color above other factors.
The first impression on your website and print collateral’s is a important one.
Here are a few color descriptions:
- Purple: Used to soothe and calm.
- Green: Associated with wealth. Used to relax and the easiest color for the eyes to process.
- Blue: Creates trust and security. Often seen with banks.
- Black: Powerful and sleek.
- Orange: Agressive, creats a call to action: Subscribe, buy or sell.
Make sure those valuable few moments of your prospects attention are memorable in a good way! Rosepapa Creative can help your businesses not only look great, but also have a strategy behind your marketing.

Daily Designing
Posted by Chris in Illustrations and Design | No Comments
At the start of the new year one of the online groups that I participate with, Woman’s Designer Group, offered a challenge to the group to contribute design, tutorials and inspiration to a new Blog that was based on a challenge that Smashing Magazine had started. The website daily designing challenges web programmers and designers to create something new, ideally everyday, realistically once a week. I’ve been having a great time with it. Here is my latest contribution which is a illustrative type effect that I did in Illustrator CS4.
