How to Brand a Small Business. Small business branding is a lot like small business marketing. You have to be careful about how you present yourself to attract customers. Most small businesses rely on a single product or service, making it hard to define a brand. However, there's no need to settle for a generic, boring name when you can give your business a distinctive identity by developing a solid brand.

It’s no secret that designing and manufacturing with sustainable materials is on the rise – and it couldn’t be happening at a better time.

But design is about more than just an eye for detail and an understanding of form and function; it’s a way of looking at the world, and solving problems in order to make life easier for people.

Historically, employee training relied heavily on a lecture style of teaching where the employees had to reach the training session on time, listen attentively to the instructor, take down notes quickly and wait until the next day to get their doubts clarified. The duration of courses was dependent on the completion rate of others. It means even if you are ahead of your fellow employees, you’ll not be awarded a certificate.

Curves have always lived in the world of design but they’ve been much more prevalent in recent times. While many name it a trend, we think curves always have a place in design, offering rounded corners, organic shapes, and soft silhouettes. In an architectural world full of hard angles and straight lines, embrace the softness and whimsy that curves bring to an environment.

Web design trends aren’t always a nod to what’s new. Take the popularity of the Synthwave aesthetic. It harkens back to the early 1980s – years before the world wide web was even invented. It’s gaudy and impractical. Yet it’s hard to deny both the charm and the feelings of nostalgia it evokes. For me, it conjures images of Miami Vice , big hair, and the artificial sounds of new wave music.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.

Frank Gehry ’s Forma is poised to be the tipping point. “All of the massing was geared toward improving the views from the units… not to have a view of the butt end of the west tower or other dog legs of the tower,” says design partner David Nam.
