WHAT IS TYPOGRAPHY SELECTION? — ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Selecting typography for a brand is so much more than just choosing a couple of fonts that look nice together. It’s about prescribing select fonts for select areas of your brand that will help your brand to be distinct, cohesive and legible. It also takes all of the guessing and confusion out of preparing designs for your brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Firstly, I start my search for the brand’s “hero” typeface. As other designers will attest, we can easily spend hours trawling through typography websites, searching for “the one” that successfully captures the personality of the brand and communicates the key feelings we want to portray. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once I’ve settled on the “hero” typeface for the brand, I select complementary typefaces to support it — and most importantly, not compete with it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ … I can’t include the full post here, but you can keep reading this post, including typography tips, more about the process and the difference between “typography” and a “font”: Link in bio.

As a busy business owner, it’s important to take care of your physical and mental health. You’re responsible for setting your own breaks, so be kind to yourself. Always make time to eat well, stretch, exercise and soak up some beautiful sunshine whenever you can ☀️

5 reasons why having a website is so important — ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. A website is the best way to showcase your products and services. You can guide users where you want them to go on a website, and convert them into subscribers or sales, for example. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Having a website makes your business look professional and builds trust. If your competitors have a website and you don’t, it’s likely customers are choosing them over you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. A website is your property and has no restrictions like social media does. If Instagram were gone tomorrow (sometimes accounts get deactivated without warning!), where would your followers find you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. You can attract new customers through Google when people search for your services. Marketing on social media is great, but widening your net gives you additional streams of enquiries, that are already actively seeking what you offer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. A website builds brand credibility and can grow with your business. For example, you can start with a basic website and grow it into an online store in time when you’re ready to offer online goods and services. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If a website is on your to-do list, you might be interested to learn more about my web design process and FAQs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can find that information here: Link in bio > My Services > Website Design.

This week’s inspiration: mostly type, interestingly, as I’ve been thinking a lot about typography selection and how to educate you more about it. I’ve also been inspired by unique graphic design layouts like the ones down centre top and right.
