Client Designer Communication

admin — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 08:00:18 +0000

One of the more challenging aspects of being a designer is learning how to best communicate with various clients. Chances are, each client will have a different style of communication. It really depends on your client’s personality and the way they run their business. Learning your client’s preferred method of communication is extremely helpful. It’s important to not take things personally. As a designer one must remain open to criticism, and willing to take feedback and improve designs accordingly. Whether it’s through email, in person meetings, phone calls, or other methods of communication, it is essential to stay organized and keep track of the feedback you receive and the the various iterations of drafts along the way. A good designer is always willing to make changes and compromise with a client to meet their needs. As a designer, if one has opinions on how one can make something better, it is important to let your client know how you feel. However, ultimately a successful finished project looks like something that both the designer and the client are content with. There’s always a happy medium to be found!

How to Choose Colors and Fonts that Fit your Brand

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 12:20:30 +0000

The colors and fonts you choose to represent your brand are a major factor influencing your brand’s portrayal in the marketplace. Make sure they represent who your brand is, what you’re about, and the overall impression you intend to leave.
Here at Dazu Creative we create brand books which include your logo design, brand colors, and fonts which you will use in the marketing content for your brand.
If you already have a logo, but are missing certain essential elements in your branding we can fill in the gaps for you.
We help you come up with elements which most represent what it is you desire to portray with your brand.
A font can give off a certain impression depending on if it is a decorative font, a sans serif, or serif font. Colors have many different connotations as well. Sometimes a monotone logo will get the message across best. At other times, a multicolored logo will highlight certain feelings you are intending to express.

A simple logo made from just a symbol can be efficient, but a symbol and text is also a common strategy.

We do the research for you in order to come up with branding elements which fit your style, and which are easily readable and accessible to your potential clients.

Why your Website is More Important than Your Business Card

admin — Mon, 23 May 2022 16:35:31 +0000

These days, a website is worth a thousand words. You can tell a lot about a company from the way they choose to represent themselves on their website.
Regardless of social media accounts and other brand elements, a website is still one of the primary ways that a client can tell what your brand is about.
The care the company took in creating their website tells you so much about their brand. The “About” page also gives you a sense of who the team is and what their core values are.
The quality of the photos and the copy on the website give you a sense of whether the company is producing quality work or not. If care was taken in the creation of the website, typically that can be a good sign.
Work with the team at Dazu Creative to build a website which truly represents your brand. We’ll make one you can be truly proud of!

A Day in the Life

admin — Fri, 20 May 2022 15:17:35 +0000

As a designer, every day can look completely different. That’s one of the things that we appreciate so much about it! Not only do we have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, but we also are able to learn about different businesses and career fields. We work with people from all walks of life with completely different personalities. We learn to go with the flow and adapt in order to make our clients comfortable and to meet their needs as best as we can. We intuitively focus on how we can take our clients’ businesses to the next level of their evolution. Our client’s success is our success. That is truly how we feel and the way in which we approach business. Compared to many other professions, being a designer is not a cookie cutter experience. Every day and every project can vary greatly. Sometimes we take trips for inspiration. Things are fluid and we remain spontaneous in order to be the most successful at what we do. We have bodies of work that show our skills and the variety of creation we are capable of. And yet, there are many things we have not yet done that we hope to create some day. There are so many projects we would still like to do! We look forward to hearing from you about your next project. Together we can make it a reality.

Iconic Branding

admin — Mon, 16 May 2022 18:17:46 +0000

Branding done well becomes so second nature that you can see an element from a logo or a font and immediately recognize the company it represents. Ultimately, this is the place that many brands aspire to arrive at. Once your brand has reached this level of global recognition, and has become a household name, your success is immeasurable. Think of, for example, the Kleenex brand. Kleenex is now used interchangeably with the word tissue. The brand is practically the product at this point. Talk about cornering the market! Do you recognize the brands shown in these “ABC’s?”
