What Do We Really Pay Graphic Designers For?
Graphic designers don't just make things look “pretty.” Their role is much more nuanced, aimed at making businesses appear professional and converting potential customers into actual clients through effective branding and marketing materials.
More Than Just Aesthetics
Many business owners might think design is all about creating eye-catching images. While that's part of it, there's much more involved, particularly when it comes to building a brand image. Let's explore some crucial aspects of effective design:
Understanding the Target Market
I once encountered a company whose brand design aimed to appeal to both men and women. However, the existing design featured a stylized woman of specific ethnic heritage, potentially alienating parts of their audience. It's vital for designers to think deeply about the target market and ensure the brand appeals to all intended demographics.
The Power of Colors and Tones
In a popular article I wrote, "The Relationship Between Colors & Sales," I discussed the psychological effects colors have on mood and behavior. Designers should be mindful of these effects. For instance, while bright colors might appeal to lower-income groups, they may not be suitable for a brand targeting a broader audience. The key is to choose colors that resonate with your specific market, rather than just personal preferences.
Beyond the Basics
Here are additional considerations designers should keep in mind:
- Versatility: Ensure the design works in all sizes, from billboards to business cards.
- Readability: The company name should be easy to read.
- Proportions: Designs should not be too tall or wide, as this can complicate their use in various layouts like flyers and brochures.
Even with an established brand, these principles apply when developing marketing materials. Designers must respect the existing brand theme and ensure all new designs continue to appeal to the target market.
In summary, graphic designers provide expertise that goes well beyond mere aesthetics. Their work is integral to creating a cohesive and effective brand image that resonates with the target audience, driving the success of the business.
