8 great tips to make your brand look consistent from Liz Hall Design

Creating consistency with our marketing materials is always at the forefront of our minds, or at least it should be. It’s how we become recognisable to our customers and potential customers. And it’s also how we stand out from our competitors.

If you’re looking for something a little different or you just need some inspiration, I have five alternatives for you to think about. Continue reading “5 design alternatives to the A5 flyer”
