The Art of Design #14: Booklets

Booklets are tiny books or magazines which lay around in conference halls, offices and waiting rooms.

The Art of Design #11: Door Hangers

Recently updated on October 18th, 2017 at 12:13 am

Door hangers are a great way to announce yourself right where a person lives. The customer doesn’t have to go anywhere, you go to them! A great mass marketing tool comparable to flyers, but with the twist of reaching someone directly at their home with a much better chance that your message will be kept in their home for weeks or months; seen over and over again. Unlike direct mail, which sits in mailboxes, waiting to be picked up and brought in the house, door hangers wait on doorknobs, where they’re much more likely to receive special attention.

Learn how to make the best of this under-utilized direct marketing piece. This week on The Art of Design: Door Hangers.

Recently updated on November 16th, 2017 at 06:28 pm

The venerable bookmark isn’t just good for marking your place in that book or magazine you’re reading. In fact, it appears that the book itself has been turned into “kindling” and the magazine into bird cage liner. People are reading less and viewing videos more.

The Art of Design #9: Tickets

Recently updated on November 18th, 2017 at 12:55 am

This week’s Art of Design covers one of the most under-rated printed design piece, the Ticket. From concert tickets to movie tickets to tickets to a wedding, this fun way of record keeping can really give excitement to the person going to an event, before they even walk in the door. As well, it’s something they save for years, after they walk out of the door, to always remember the event. Why create something bland when it may end up in a scrap book 50 years from now!

That’s why we’ve focused on a variety of Ticket types with tutorials, design tips, tons of inspiration, and any resources that we could find to help you make the best joy-reminder you can! This week on The Art of Design: Tickets.

Funny Cartoon Business Cards from ‘The Simpsons’

I’m a superduper Simpsons fan. One of my favorite aspects of the show is the writers’ use of funny slogans on signs, invitations, billboards, and business cards. For this post, I’ve collected 10 pictures from ‘The Simpsons’. Most of these pics are of business cards of various characters. I also included a pic of Simpsons creator Matt Groening’s actual business card *and* a billboard for Dr. Nick Riviera. Maybe you could use some of these business card designs when designing your business card. Probably not. But maybe. Enjoy!
