Flag Up Your Memorability

[http://www.nzflag.com/] So I sat through a presentation depicting an international firm’s regional goals. Several countries were given a slide and a half each. Each was announced by a pic of their flag. Neat, you might think. Well, a little boring, I’d say. I was reminded

[http://www.pantone.co.uk/pages/index.aspx?pg=21129] Following on from earlier colour suggestions where you’re client has only monochrome schemes. I found that many a colour company creates PR around ‘trends’. First up, Pantone. They anoint their own ‘colour of the year’. And why wouldn’t

Fashion Trend Colour Inspiration

[http://www.pantone.com] Someone I was chatting to the other day mentioned how hard it was to be colourful in your slide themes. Frustration builds when faced with conservative clients and their monotone logos. Or should that be the other way around? I first mentioned that a kaleidoscopic dazzling

How Well Does Your Backdrop Sell?

[https://salespodder.com/content/images/wordpress/2014/03/backdrop-400x201.jpg] The tragedy of Malaysian Airlines flight 370. Understandably blanket media coverage across the globe.
