stand out branding + strategic web design for golden hour photographers

A common question I get from clients before their project timeline even begins is: What on earth do I add to my Pinterest inspiration board for my brand and Showit website?

The short answer: ANYTHING that sparks joy (in Marie Kondo fashion).

The long answer: let me share my best tips of what to pin with links to my own boards packed with ideas!

1 | COLOR

Start with pinning color swatches, color palettes, mood boards, and images with colors that resonate with you and your brand and your photography style.

2 | TYPOGRAPHY

Pin font pairings you like in logo designs, quotes, and websites. You’ll be surprised just how often you’ll see a common theme of what you like without even knowing it beforehand.

3 | LOGO FORMATS

Try to find a variety of logos with layouts and font pairings that you find appealing. Look for a horizontal layout, a stacked layout, and a shape or icon layout.

4 | MOOD BOARDS

Viewing mood boards helps give you a visual representation of the design and vision you have for your brand. Images and elements included can help bring your brand together.

5 | PATTERNS + TEXTURES

While your final brand may not include specific branded patterns and textures, you can certainly draw inspiration from them.

6 | WEB DESIGN

Last but not least, pin some website layouts. These will help you determine what type of layout you prefer and the level of simplicity or complexity of the design you desire, which is super beneficial for design!

MY TOP 4 TIPS:

1. Just Pin: Start by pinning any and everything you love that relates to you and your brand. I recommend pinning 10-15 images from each category.
2. Use the boards I’ve shared above to help you find inspiration.
3. Pin images from your portfolio! Keep in mind composition and edit style, these should be images that you want to be known for and want to take more of!
4. Have fun and be inspired!
