Good Design Pays Back

Graphic design is more than just aesthetics; it’s a powerful tool that can communicate your brand’s message, evoke emotions, and engage your audience. Here are just a few ways in which good graphic design can help you reach these goals:

Brand Identity Consistency

Consistent and professional design helps create a strong brand identity, making your business easily recognisable. Try maintaining a consistent colour scheme, typography, and style across all your social media platforms. This familiarity can build trust and loyalty, encouraging repeat engagement and sales.

Increased Engagement

Visually appealing graphics are more likely to be shared, liked, and commented on (you wouldn’t reshare an ugly post). Ensure that your designs are well-balanced and, that elements are properly aligned. This creates a harmonious and professional look that is pleasing to the eye. Additionally, use images and graphics that evoke emotions and tell a story, as emotional connections can drive deeper engagement and loyalty. These practices will increase your reach and visibility on social media platforms, leading to higher engagement rates.

Improved User Experience

Good design enhances the user experience by making content easier to read and navigate. Use contrasting colours to make important information stand out. High contrast can highlight key messages and improve readability. Avoid clutter and keep your designs clean and simple. Clear and straightforward designs are more likely to capture and retain your audience’s attention.

Higher Conversion Rates

Effective design elements, such as clear calls-to-action and well-organized layouts, can guide users towards purchasing or signing up for a service, directly impacting your sales. Use visual hierarchy to guide your audience’s eyes to the most important elements of your design. Prioritise key messages and calls to action by making them stand out with size, colour, or placement.

Design and disability are so often discussed in terms of basic “accommodation” and “access,” yet my visit to the V&A’s Design and Disability exhibition completely shifted that perspective. Rather than framing disability as an issue to be fixed, the exhibition presents it as a culture, a rich set of identities, and a radical design force shaping practice from the 1940s right up to today.

Lurkers are your biggest audience and they’re deciding in silence. They watch in feeds, sanity-check you in comments, communities and reviews, then repeat whatever proof is easiest to quote internally. That’s why social feels harder, it’s no longer a click machine, it’s an answer surface. Ofcom shows AI summaries are now common in search results, and YouTube remains the UK’s biggest social utility by reach and time spent. If your story is inconsistent, your evidence is scattered, or your customer proof is buried, lurkers can’t do the job of trusting you for you.
