Art & Design Tips
THINGS TO KNOW AS A BUSINESS OWNER
in need of a logo design
Tip #1: Vector logos can be resized to fit any project, from small icons to large billboards. Raster logos use a specific resolution, intended for web.

Tip #2: If building your own logo using AI and other available software, here are a few simple guidelines:

Keep in mind your target audience

Simplistic graphics work well

Use colors and fonts that suit your industry

Test the logo in black and white

Make sure all elements of your new logo work well for larger projects, while also being legible at a smaller size

Tip #3: The way you approach the brand identity of your business can have a lasting impact, and it begins with first impressions. Many potential customers will gauge credibility by your logo, business card, storefront, and if you have a web presence. Your professionalism can speak volumes, once the click or call is made — don't fall a step short by not having brand assets to match!

Tip #1: Adding acrylic to wood surfaces can add a rustic aesthetic to the overall finished painting.

Tip #2: There are a couple ideal steps to take when prepping wood surfaces, prior to pain:

Step 1 - Lightly sand surface if prefer a smoother finish

Step 2 - Add a couple layers of gloss medium to wood surface to protect against SID (Support Induced Discoloration)

Step 3 - Clear gesso can be added to create more tooth, while leaving the ground color unchanged

Tip #3: To protect the painting once completed, add a couple coats of polycrylic or varnish over the entire painting.
