Graphic Design made in Hawthorn

We have all been told that we shouldn’t “judge a book by its cover” – essentially meaning that we should always strive to focus on the content, not the way that something looks. While this is a valiant goal, in reality, it’s impossible to achieve: we humans can’t help but be attracted to beautiful things.

This predilection is backed up by hard data. Given 15 minutes to consume content, an Adobe study found that more than two-thirds of us would rather read something that was beautifully designed rather than something plain. Even if the content is identical, the way that it is presented is crucial to our willingness to engage with it.

Understanding this quirk of preference is particularly important for businesses and organisations. While it may be tempting to believe that all that matters about an ecommerce store is the quality of the products, or that the only function of a business card is to impart information, the evidence says otherwise: looks matter.

Considering the undeniable importance of aesthetics to a business, we at SGD are delighted to be able to offer comprehensive graphic design and branding services to our clients.

The importance of branding and graphic design

The modern business world is wonderful, dynamic, and exciting. There are more companies than there have ever been before, offering a wide variety of products and services to eager customers across the world. Without a doubt, there has never been a better time to be in business.

However, this sheer number of businesses in existence does create a problem – it’s all-too-easy for companies to get lost in the shuffle. In a crowded marketplace, standing out from the crowd, being memorable, and building lasting connections with your customers is incredibly difficult.

There is, however, a way that you can overcome this issue, and ensure maximum visibility and memorability for your business: branding.

The term “branding” is used to describe a particular focus on the way that various elements of your business appear; for example, your promotional materials, your website, your logo design, your business cards, and so on. For the most part, good branding is all about ensuring two things:

• That the aesthetics chosen are as appealing as possible. This is achieved by considering design trends, selecting a pleasing colour palette, and many more besides. By ensuring that every aspect of your business looks as good as possible, you can build a brand identity that is based on a foundation of professionalism and attention to detail – an identity that is highly attractive to prospective customers.
• It is then also important to ensure that these elements are consistent; for example, using the same colours on your website as you do in your in-store displays. This consistency helps to build your brand’s reputation, establishing its own, recognisable identity that helps it to stand out from the crowd.
