WHAT MAKES GOOD DESIGN?

It’s not just about selecting the right color, image, and headline; it’s about choosing the right content. Ultimately, it’s about what best conveys the message, the product, and the client. Sometimes, deciding what to include and what to leave out isn’t straightforward. Choosing a designer who understands this can make all the difference.

“Design is a formal response to a strategic question.”
