Niching doesn’t mean you have to limit the type of design work you do — it can be about who you create for. For us, that means partnering with restaurants, hospitality, and food & beverage brands. While we design across brand, print, digital, and space, our value lies in understanding these industries' unique needs. By offering everything from brand identities and websites to packaging, signage, and environmental graphics, we help create seamless continuity across all touchpoints. This holistic approach simplifies the process for our clients, providing efficiency and consistency through a single creative partner. So, while we don’t niche by design medium, style, or software, we focus on serving a specific type of client — and delivering everything they might need to succeed. How do you approach niching in your design work?

Even designers use these terms incorrectly (and there's a lot of nuance and history here I won't bore you with). For our purposes, let's simplify: a TYPEFACE is a family of FONTS. Why should you care? Let's say that your brand guidelines state that Museo Sans is your brand TYPEFACE. If that's all that is specified, it's easy for materials to look different - some headlines using very thin weights of the typeface, while others use the thick weights. To ensure consistency, these guidelines can be more granular, defining which FONT within the typeface to use for headlines, body copy, etc. How specific do these need to be? I've found that in general, the larger the organization and the more folks that will be accessing the guidelines to create materials, more specific typographic guidelines = a more a consistent visual brand. Did you know the difference between these two terms?

Design is not self-expression, design is a tool used to solve a problem. Colors are tools. Words are tools. The only way to build an empire is to first understand how to use your tools.

Branding, at its core, is one of the most pivotal parts in communicating a company’s value. And every layer counts. From logo representation and tag line to mission and design language, branding is, of course, one of the most relevant distinctions of a company. Many elements can elevate your brand, but storytelling within branding is, in my opinion, one of the most important. https://lnkd.in/gm-dFFBr
