Fiona Rogerson contacted me about a total revamp of her business. Fiona had been working with a business coach and was ready to take her business to the next level. Part of that was a sophisticated new look and identity.

Fiona’s photography is best expressed as large art prints for walls and she wanted an icon or symbol that she could use as a stamp across a large variety of material. After  the intial round of concepts, we were working through a few ideas and I had a flash of inspiration with regards to the business initials.

As Fiona specialises in maternity and newborn photography, I used the E from ‘Evoke’ to form the silhouette of the pregnant female form, while the ‘a’ becomes the baby, curled up inside. Fiona said:

“Netra… is the amazing talent behind my new brand. She took my incredibly vague ideas and transformed them into something unique and clever that speaks volumes about me and my photography.”

HUGE congrats to you Fiona, it is so exciting to see everything finally launched and I sure you will do amazing things with this business. Well done!!!

Briony Howland was referred to me by Chantelle Bliss who captured some images for her marketing both print and online. Briony needed me to add bleed and crops to the existing brochure, she was happy with it she had and wasn’t too keen to change it.

Ordinarilywhen a client is clear on what they want – I simply do what they ask. I don’t force the issue as I find it can come across as being quite patronising. As I started to work on this brochure however, I had to restrain myself from tweaking things in the flyer. About halfway through I realised I had a different vision for this brochure in my head and I just had to let it out. So after I finished the minor amends to the existing version I created an entirely new version as well.

I made both into a PDF and sent them along to Briony with an explanation and the assurance that as I had produced this second concept of my own accord she was under no obligation to pay for it unless she wanted to use it. As I’d hoped, she responded with

I love it!  Thank you so much for reworking the brochure.  I thought it was great before, but now it looks fantastic! 

I had rearranged the information on the front so that her key services are at the top and the website address is prominently displayed. Once open the first flap gives a brief overview of what Birth in Balance is about as well as develops Briony’s credibility with her audience by providing a summary of her achievements and philosophy. The audience is further engaged by the image of her with her children – so that people feel connected with her on a personal level.

On the inside I have run the information in columns and highlighted the testimonials as actual quotes to offer shorts bursts of positive and compelling information for those who may not read all 3 columns. I wanted to show what could be achieved with the brochure. It should not only offer information about the services, but should be designed in a strategic way to encourage people to engage with your brand.

This is a really great example of how a few simple layout changes can make such a big diffrence to a relatively small piece of marketing. More importantly it demonstrates how small business owners can work with designers for an customised design solution that won’t break the bank.

Oh, and if you’re after a doula, pre/post natal massage or wellness advice, please do visit Briony’s website at www.BirthinBalance.com.au
