Design Glow-Up! 😇

I just wrapped up a project with Realic Professional & Technical College (REPTEC) helping them refresh their admission graphics. They asked for a visual upgrade, and we delivered a strategic transformation.

Check out the evolution:

First Pic: Busy flyer with all the info.
Second Pic: Clean, eye-catching social media ad with a strong student photo.
Third Pic: Super professional, evergreen design that is perfect for long-term campaigns. We listened to their feedback (no model, text only and change the date to January 2026) and delivered the final, polished product.

It's all about making the visuals work harder for the client, turning complex info into clear, actionable design. Fingers crossed this partnership leads to a full retainer for us! 🤞

Frank Mason Robinson (1845–1923), a bookkeeper for pharmacist John S. Pemberton, played a pivotal role in creating the iconic Coca-Cola brand. In 1886, while working at the Pemberton Chemical Company in Atlanta, Robinson suggested the name "Coca-Cola," believing the alliteration of the two "C"s would be visually striking in advertising. He designed the logo using Spencerian script, a flowing, elegant handwriting style popular among bookkeepers at the time, which conveyed sophistication and distinctiveness. This script, first used in 1887, became the foundation for Coca-Cola’s visual identity. Robinson also crafted early marketing strategies, including newspaper ads in the Atlanta Journal and distributing free drink coupons, helping establish the brand’s popularity. The logo, initially in black, later incorporated the brand’s signature red and white color scheme, with minor adjustments over time, such as trademark placements. Standardized in 1923, the logo has remained largely unchanged, symbolizing timelessness and global recognition. Robinson’s design, rooted in simplicity and memorability, is still used on billions of Coca-Cola products today, making it one of the most recognizable logos worldwide.

Honestly, I’m kinda shocked 😅

When my LinkedIn got hacked back in 2023, I lost everything (connections, projects, and all the momentum I’d built over the years). Starting a new profile last month felt like starting from zero… this time no familiar faces, just sending requests to strangers who probably had no reason to connect with me.

Still, I told myself I’d post 3–4 times a week, even if it felt like shouting into the void. For weeks it was just a handful of likes and a few hundred impressions.

Then out of nowhere this week, one simple post took off way more than I expected 🙌 It’s not “I’ve made it” yet, but it feels like a sign I’m figuring out what clicks.

Moral of the story: consistency really does pay off, even if the wins are small at first.

Loving this "graphic designer is on leave" trend. 😂

It's just a fun, low-effort way to be real for a second. No fancy designs, just a simple joke that everyone gets.

Sometimes the best content is just... not trying so hard.

Stuart Watson, former Executive Creative Director at DesignStudio, led the Premier League’s new identity rebrand, crafted with Robin Brand Consultants to reflect fans, communities, and players. A six-month audit showed 90% stakeholder support for the iconic lion, symbolizing strength. Eye-tracking guided 600 sketches, focusing on the lion’s face. The wordmark, now in a lower-case custom FF Mark font by Monotype, aligns neatly for a friendlier tone, marking the league’s third identity in 24 years.

NOT GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN

The unveiling of Botswana’s new commemorative P50 banknote honoring our Olympic heroes is a proud moment but it has also sparked strong emotions.

By removing Sir Seretse Khama, our founding president, from the note, the Bank of Botswana may not have fully considered the cultural and societal implications of such a change. Currency isn’t just money; it’s a national symbol and a branding tool that carries deep meaning across generations.

A more balanced approach could have been:

• Introducing a new denomination (e.g., a P500 note) with the Olympians, while keeping Seretse Khama on the P50.

• Or placing the Olympians on a smaller coin/note, such as the 50 thebe, so both history and modern achievement are celebrated without overshadowing one another.

• Or releasing dual editions of the P50; one with a refreshed image of Sir Seretse Khama, and one commemorating our athletes.

In branding and marketing, symbols matter. They shape how people connect emotionally with a product, service, or even a nation’s currency. The lesson here:

When refreshing a legacy brand, innovation should honor the past while celebrating the present.

Logo Design Ideas:

Love how simple design tricks can make words speak louder.

Which one do you think is the smartest?

02/09/2025

🎯Design is not just what you add, but what you emphasize👌

• On the left: everything has the same weight, so nothing stands out.

• On the right: strategic use of size, style, and layout makes the key insights (progress, performance, identity) impossible to miss.

In UI/UX, hierarchy guides attention, reduces cognitive load, and improves user experience.
