Instastories for Businesses

March 23, 2018 by Patricia

If you still haven't heard about Insta Stories by now, you were probably living under a rock for the past year and a half. I was a slow adapter to it, but I've grown to love it! Insta Stories let you share a series of videos or photos -- and have them disappear after 24 hours. You'll see stories … [Read more...] about Instastories for Businesses

Instapanic

April 2, 2016 by Patricia

  This week witnessed a collective hysteria from so many small business owners over at Instagram.  In 24 hours, almost every account on my feed begged me to turn on post notifications, afraid that when the new algorithm rolls out, no one will see their posts anymore.  After the 100th or so … [Read more...] about Instapanic

Styling your Instagram Photos

Curating Instagram

April 28, 2015 by Patricia

I encounter this question a lot on the various facebook groups that I'm a part of: Should you carefully style and curate your instagram feed, or do you go for real life images in order to be more authentic? I love Instagram.  It's perhaps my favourite social media platform of all, and one that … [Read more...] about Curating Instagram

Lately, on Instagram

November 7, 2014 by Patricia

I have to admit that I'm having way too much fun over at Instagram, so you can find me there more often than here. I have to consciously tell myself that I'm supposed to blog, and not just Instagram everything. hahahah! My blog coach, Martine de Luna, is probably at her wits' end at my poor … [Read more...] about Lately, on Instagram

Hard truths by creative business strategist @melis Hard truths by creative business strategist @melissagalt 
Positioning is a decision.
You don’t wait to be selected by whoever inquires. You choose.
Choose who you want to work with, what you want to be known for, and how you want your business to be perceived.
That’s positioning.
A bold, dramatic, editorial-inspired brand identit A bold, dramatic, editorial-inspired brand identity for a psychology-informed company that is centered on people. 
The custom monogram forms the letters H and A, but if you look at it long enough, you'll notice the curves of the letter A forms a letter L - which stands for Lisa, the founder's name. 
We wanted the brand to look and feel premium but welcoming, as befits her years of experience and level of expertise.
The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: n The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: not serifs broadly, but a specific vintage register, letterforms with visible weight variation, a slightly worn edge, the sense that someone drew them by hand. 
The Ashcombe Hall has the gravity of a country house library, the kind of face you'd expect stamped in gold on a leather spine. Vintage Serenade moves looser, more lyrical, closer to something a calligrapher would have signed.
Design has swung this way before. When the Industrial Revolution made everything fast and identical, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement answered with ornament, with craft, with the visible mark of the maker. The clean grid had its long turn at the wheel. This particular kind of type, textured, hand-cut, carrying a sense of history in the strokes, is having its own.
The antiques returning to people's living rooms and this type returning to branding are doing the same work. Both are reminding us a skilled hand was involved.
The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love. I read it as a flower that simply knows when to leave the party.
