How we use Pinterest

blank
I dare say many people have probably heard of Pinterest. For some, you’re already avid users and you need no convincing whatsoever. For others, while you may have heard of Pinterest, you don’t yet have an account and aren’t yet privy to the phenomenon. If you fall into the latter group, allow me to give you a quick run down... Pinterest (literally, Pin Interests) is the all-consuming, time wasting social media platform that will actually change your life! It will help turn your three…

Choosing the ideal name for your business

choosing the ideal name for your business
So, you’ve got a great business concept and now you’re at the point of nutting out the details... How will I go about marketing my business? Where should I be based? Will I need a website? One of the most important things you’ll be asking yourself is, ‘What should my business be named?’ When considering a business name, there are a lot of factors that come into play and you need to make sure you are 200% happy with what you’ve chosen.  (But that…

DESIGN TRENDS: What’s been and what’s coming

blank
As designers, it goes without saying that we need to be on the front foot with all kinds of trends; from architecture and interiors to fashion and what’s happening online. This is because they collectively meld into what’s trending in the graphic design world too! Just like those baggy 90’s t-shirts, trends in the design world come and go seasonally. We had a giggle in the office today about the trend from 2010 of ‘flourishes’.  Every second design consisted of a ‘flourish’ in one…

What makes Monday great

Cream
Have you ever caught yourself feeling a certain way that’s in stark contrast to how you are supposed to be feeling at that given time? Let me give you a few examples: Crying on your birthday. Laughing during the saddest part of a movie. Grumpy at Christmas time. Excited on a Monday morning. These are just a couple of examples of which I must confess have been real occurrences for me.  (Don’t judge me—I’m trying to be a better person). I am guilty of…

Love is in the air!

Navy
Valentine's Day is not just about romantic love. Maybe that's how the day started out (somewhere back in the 5th Century), but let's be honest... there are several elements of the 'origins of Valentine's Day' story that are questionable (to say the least). So for the sake of everyone having the opportunity to be involved in all of the Valentine's Day shenanigans, let's just say V-Day is for all! If not a partner, why not tell a friend or family member how much you…

Five SUPER SIMPLE daily habits for 2015

Light Green
Um, 2014 — where did you go!!?? Does anyone else feel like the last few months of 2014 struck faster than lightning? I certainly do! In my recovery from that blur, I’ve been thinking about the important daily habits and routines that kept me sane throughout the rest of the year—that incidentally dropped off my radar during the end-of-year festive-flurry! It’s little wonder we all hit January 1 with a lovely list of goals, promises for improvement and resolutions for the New Year! Through…

When blue and yellow make white

Dark Green
Ever print something out and wonder why the colours come out looking different to what they did on your screen? Maybe you've heard graphic designers talk in strange languages; using weird acronyms when they're trying to explain this process to you?  They use jargon terms like 'Additive Colour', 'Subtractive Colour', 'CMYK', 'RGB', and 'PMS' — all the while, you're  pulling your hair out because all you want to know is why the colour is acting funny and of course you want to know how to fix this problem!…
