Design of Social media banners

Design of Social media banners

Corporate graphic design for top brands like Woolworths was made all the more rewarding by working on the charity projects for My School. The design team was briefed to design Social media banners for the Teach a child to read project. We developed graphic banners for social media and website use that were designed in a typographic graphic design style. Strong graphic colour and shape were the key and the striking social media advertising banners were a hit.

Woolworths Graphic Designer

&US is the Woolworths kids brand for their clothing line and apparel. As part of my design work at Woolies I looked after online design for the ecommerce website and for digital marketing for both direct email and all social media platforms. Woolies makes good use of great photos and design to differentiate their products from the competitors. It has been great to see other brands catching up and inturn pushing the design that we did at woolies to new areas and heights. The inhouse woolies design crew are a super tight bunch of talented designers. Very city slicker millennial design style. New York and London & Paris inspire a variety of designers that are sworn to the Woolies brand guideline by critical art direction. More magic than science for sure and a far cry from Art but great work that is on brand consistent and sells hard.

What Type of Products Can You Sell Online?

Regardless of which industry you are in, there are two types of products you can sell:

Commoditized products and Niche products.

Commoditized products are essential, high demand, or popular goods or services that can be physical or digital products. These are products that everybody needs.

Commoditized products are what make up the majority of online sales. Think of anything that has a big brand behind it — food, golf clubs, clothes, kids toys, etc.

Niche products are goods or services that serve a specific customer base and product category.

In many instances, these are unique, one-of-a-kind, or handmade products, making them some of the most popular items bought online. Colin Stephenson Design and Photography can work on your brand image and product packaging design. Product photography and lifestyle photography are also essential to bring your product to market and key to the service Colin Stephenson offers.

Niche products are often made in small batch runs or on demand. Think of a unique beaded necklace, handmade frozen yogurt, or leather iPad case. Product photography and lifestyle photography are also essential to bring your product to market and key to the service Colin Stephenson offers.

However, many store owners sell a combination of commoditized products and niche products to increase their profit margin.

Offering only commoditized items, especially if they are popular products sold on major online marketplaces like Take-a-lot, will make it extremely difficult to become successful.

Instead, offer commoditized and niche products to your customers while delivering an on-brand experience to set your online shop up for success. Colin Stephenson can guide you on product branding, packaging and product photography right through to website design or listing your product on major online stores.

How To Choose What Products To Sell

If you have already had a good product to sell here are some tips on how to improve them to sell online. Colin Stephenson can guide you on product branding, packaging and product photography right through to website design or listing your product on major online stores. 

  1. Identify or create products that solve a problem.

When you’re brainstorming ideas for a product or service, it’s essential you reflect on problems in your own life. Pinpoint a problem and solve it.

Your product or service doesn’t necessarily need to be a huge, complicated endeavor — it can be quite simple, yet exceptionally effective.

Product opportunities can also exist in a few other areas:

Improved product features, 

A new market unrealized by your competitors, or 

Unique product positioning and marketing.

Create high-quality product content (including product descriptions and imagery). Colin Stephenson Design and Photography can work on your brand image and product packaging design. Product photography and lifestyle photography are also essential to bring your product to market and key to the service Colin Stephenson offers.

Graphic designer, Knysna, Garden Route.

Graphic designer, Knysna Garden Route. To create a brand for a company is to create not just a logo but their image and to promote that image with campaigns and visuals. Working in branding allows a graphic designer to get involved with many aspects of the industry, from logo design to advertising to copywriting and slogans.

The goal of a brand is to make a company unique and recognizable and to project the desired image that the company wishes to portray. Over time, a brand can make a company a household name and be identifiable by a simple shape or color.

To create a logo and a brand for a company, a designer needs to fully understand the goals of the organization and the industry as a whole. This research and base knowledge can be used to work with designs to create the appropriate materials to represent that company. I work on logo design and branding for clients in the Garden Route, Cape Town, George and Knysna.

As a graphic designer working in branding, my graphic design requires a broader focus as I may not simply be designing websites or brochures, but instead working on an entire campaign and ensuring the consistent message reaches the various media.

Design elements of a branding campaign:

Logo design
Business card design
Letterhead design
Packaging
Copywriting
Advertising design
Typeface design

Meyer Von Weilligh

Meyer Von Weilligh – Design and Photography

Colin Stephenson was privileged to work closely with Abrie von Wielligh and Norman Meyer from Meyer Von Wielligh Garden Route, in establishing their new corporate identity. Starting with the branding and logo design we defined a new direction for their marketing materials and translated this through graphic design into their corporate stationery as well as their portfolio website and corporate marketing cards.

The branding was created and illustrated by hand to communicate the company ethos of unique handmade furniture. We combined the illustrated feel of the new logo with a strong modern approach to the corporate stationery and website in order to demonstrate the modern cutting edge approach to technology, furniture design and mixed media techniques implored by the company.

MVW commissioned Colin Stephenson to develop a set of 14 corporate marketing cards. The cards were to demonstrate the MVW product range through a classic sophisticated graphic design style. The series was designed to continue the graphic design style set through the branding and portfolio website and in this was forms part of seamless marketing campaign that is unique to MVW.
The MVW website has been designed using the product photography captured by Colin Stephenson Photography in their professional graphic design and photography studio.
