Great graphic design, visuals, communication is part of a greater whole. With strong packaging your product will be noticed on the shelves, with a great brochure people will be enticed to read your message. However all communication should follow a strategy, or a plan.

Who would you like to read the brochure, quite often as graphic designers when as ask the question the answer invariably comes back “Everyone!” Interestingly there is no such person, no matter the industry you’re in, everyone is different, they don’t necessarily drive the same car, live in the same house, or eat the same food. Understanding elements like that helps one whittle away misconceptions about the recipient and begins the task of understanding Who, What, Why and Where.

As graphic designers we often want the most effective language the client can offer, clear, concise information delivers what the recipient wants to know, and what the business wants to say without wasting anyone’s time, and as most people know time is ever-increasingly thin on the ground. Effective language leads to visuals with high impact and an overall piece with very high standards.

At ODL Designs we can help our clients understand their business from an 3rd party perspective, organize information and create a plan with strategic goals, ensuring complimentary paraphernalia, a minimal of overlap between pieces and the support to keep all pieces moving in the same direction.
