Benefits of Graphic Design
By: Christopher Powers, Wed Mar 25th, 2009
One of the things I'm most asked, "What are the benefits of graphic design?
"
Graphic design, creative marketing and advertising, and a visual message is an
important in your corporate identity and brand identity. Every business should have a
strong concern for what their image as it impacts how consumers perceive you in the
marketplace.
Building your brand, your company's identity, is very important. It helps define your
professional image to the public and helps you stand out from the competition. If I say the
following, "Like a good neighbor",": "where's the beef?" what two companies comes to
mind? Like the catchphrase, a good image can be as solid in the memories of your
consumer like State Farm and Wendy's Hamburger.
A good logo, a strong visual identity can withstand time just like a catchy phrase that you
can't get out of your head. Can anyone see the golden arches and not think of
McDonald's or the weird little swoosh that is the Nike logo? Even the very notion of a
single color can bring to mind a company, and is used in their marketing now, "What can
brown do for you" as in UPS. "At UPS, brown is more than a color -- it's a tangible asset
that people associate with all the things that are good about our brand," said Dale
Hayes, vice president for brand management.
That being said, you don't have to be a Fortune 500 company to know the importance of
branding, corporate identity and exploring the benefits of how graphic design can propel
your company into success. Its important no matter if you own Joe's Bait Shop or
McDonald's.
