We’ve blogged before about our love of illustration and of London, particularly Newham and our Royal Docks neighbourhood. So you can probably imagine how much we’ve enjoyed the ‘London Stories’ theme of this year’s poster prize, and some of the fantastic illustrations on display at the London Transport Museum. We also thought they might provide inspiration to anyone wanting to incorporate these themes into their design, print and web…
Illustrate your point
Whether it’s animated videos, gifs, social media images or branding, the popularity of illustration in marketing continues to rise. There are many reasons for this. Illustration can be a great way to simplify complicated offerings or give brands a more approachable feel (we regularly get complimented on our illustrated Meet the Team section). Particularly for the public sector or non-profits, illustration can be a great way to engage with your communities by representing diversity and accessibility. Illustration is a great way to give brands a current and ‘friendly’ image.
Tell your story
The other part of the Poster Prize exhibition that appealed to us was the story-telling element. ‘Telling your story’ is becoming an increasingly important part of branding and customer-engagement and we are seeing this more and more across all sectors. Whether it’s through video, social media or print such as brochures, telling people how your organisation came into being, how it has helped people or just about the day-to-day is a great way to engage people and get them on board.
