Why consistency beats a redesign
Before you spend on a rebrand, work out whether the thing that looks tired is the design or the discipline. They fail in different ways, and only one of them is fixed by new artwork.
Insights
Writing about the parts of the work that are arguable.
Not a content calendar. Three pieces, published when there is something worth saying, on the questions that come up in real projects.
All pieces
Three articles.
What a brand system actually includes
The word system gets used to mean anything from a logo with two colours to a 200-page manual. Here is a concrete list of what should be in the folder, and what each piece is doing.
Building HTML email that survives Outlook
Outlook for Windows renders your email using the Word engine. Once you accept that as the design constraint rather than fighting it, most of the other email problems become manageable.
Why so few
We publish when we have something to say.
There is no schedule and no newsletter to subscribe to. Everything here came out of a question a client asked that we could not answer in a paragraph.
If you want to be told when something new appears, email us and we will add you to a short list. It is a list, not an automation.
Have a question none of these answer?
Send it. If the answer is longer than a paragraph, it usually turns into the next piece here, and you get the reply either way.
