Description
We consume so much visually every day! As a creative small business it is impossible to stand out in the world without using great visuals. But who has the money and time to make this reality a priority?!
After working for years as and with Creatives, we have found that the first step to getting the design you crave is truly knowing what you love. So, we asked Megan Ronecker- fabulous small biz designer- to write an eBook about all the things she wishes her clients would do BEFORE they hire her, to avoid heartache on both sides.
In this 23 page fully illustrated eBook, we break down everything you need to know about how to discover your visual branding style and how to either work alone to create those visuals or hire a professional to help. Megan talks about what questions to ask yourself before you do a new design or rebrand, what red flags to look for when searching for the right designer and even includes a glossary of terminology that will help you to better understand the process along the way. If you need clarity on how to get better design in your life, this book is for you!

The “Know Your Business Style” exercise really resonated with me. Hindsight being 20/20, this would have improved by branding when I was first getting started. This eBook really helps with the blindspots in Brand creation and design. There’s just so much that I didn’t know that I didn’t know! Chocked full of important questions that help you narrow down and hone your vision, this book is the design therapist you never knew you needed.
