#Throwback to one of our favourite past projects, Legal Grow's Black Friday Campaign. Project Overview: Dive into the exciting world of Legal Grow's Black Friday campaign! We crafted visually striking banner images to showcase massive savings on selected grow equipment, with discounts of up to 40%! These banners highlighted the convenience of nationwide product delivery across South Africa, making it an irresistible offer for customers. With deals running until December 3, 2020, or while stocks lasted, our goal was to maximize engagement and conversions during this high-demand shopping period. Involvement: We went all-in, creating captivating 3D banner images from scratch using Maxon Cinema 4D. From modeling all items featured in the images to crafting materials and conducting image editing and layout design, we left no stone unturned in ensuring the banners looked absolutely stunning. The Opportunity: The Black Friday campaign was a golden opportunity to harness the visual impact of 3D modeling and rendering. We aimed to convey the message of substantial discounts and nationwide delivery effectively, standing out in the competitive Black Friday landscape and driving increased website traffic and sales. The Approach: Our approach was meticulous, utilizing Maxon Cinema 4D for 3D modeling and rendering, developing materials and lighting settings, and employing strong image editing skills for final refinement. We strategically placed banners on the website for maximum visibility, ensuring they aligned perfectly with Legal Grow's brand aesthetics. The Results: The results spoke for themselves! With over 100 sales recorded during the Black Friday promotional period, along with a 50%+ increase in average sales and a whopping 250%+ increase in page views, our visually stunning banners played a pivotal role in Legal Grow's success during this high-demand shopping event. This project highlighted the power of creative visual marketing strategies in achieving substantial sales growth. 🔗 Project Showcase: https://lnkd.in/dvTdQtv7 #ThrowbackThursday #LegalGrow #BlackFridayCampaign #3DModeling #Rendering #VisualMarketing

✨ Client Showcase: Clarity Financial Management ✨ I’m excited to share a recent project that’s particularly special to me—Clarity Financial Management. This client isn’t just any client, it’s my wife’s company! Her name is Xiomara Vielman and as a financial advisor with over 22 years of experience, she has been helping individuals and businesses secure their financial future with unwavering dedication. We first created her logo back in 2016, which served her brand well as she built her business. But as her company grew and her clientele expanded, it became clear that her visual identity needed to evolve to reflect this success and the premium level of service she offers. In 2024, we took the leap and reimagined her logo, bringing it in line with her growth and professional stature. Once we had the updated logo approved, we dove into designing her entire visual identity, as showcased here—from her sleek letterhead and business cards to the branded envelopes. It’s incredible to see how everything comes together visually and how it’s now being applied in real-world scenarios. This transformation is more than just a visual update—it’s about reinforcing trust, credibility, and professionalism at every touchpoint. A strong logo and cohesive visual design play a crucial role in setting the tone for engagement and leaving a lasting impression. 🎨 Design Matters: It’s about more than aesthetics; it’s about the message and feeling your brand conveys to your audience. And seeing this evolution from start to finish has been such a rewarding experience, both professionally and personally. The logo and visual identity were crafted by our Boutique Services at Copa Design, ensuring a bespoke, high-end branding experience. All the supporting materials—like letterheads, business cards, and more—were created through our Breeze by Copa subscription-based graphic design service, which offers flexible, ongoing design support. If you're looking for a way to make your company stand out with custom branding or consistent, high-quality design work, send me a DM. I'd love to discuss how we can help elevate your brand to new heights. #GraphicDesign #LogoDesign #BrandIdentity #FinancialAdvisor #BusinessGrowth #ClientShowcase #DesignMatters #VisualIdentity

When was the last time you revisited your brand’s perceived value? Doing this regularly is essential because: ✨ It keeps your brand alive: always aligned with what your clients truly value. ✨ It keeps you profitable: ensuring every price covers your costs and reflects your worth. ✨ It helps you project stable growth: because charging the right price gives you the space to grow confidently. Your prices shouldn’t just be “competitive.” They need to reflect the real value you’re delivering to your clients. This isn’t just about numbers—it’s strategy. If you’re unsure how to do this, get in touch. Take advantage of Black Friday and, when you book Brand Design, Brand Strategy, or Full Branding: 🎁 I’m gifting you a session of Pricing or Creative Committee (you choose!) so you can start the year with clarity and a brand that truly represents your value. 📩 Message me for details, and let’s get to work!

I can accept payment, in full or in part, via your Access to Work grant if you have one. So, are you in?

Black Friday: Making design that sells 🖤 As designers, we know Black Friday is one of the most competitive times of the year for grabbing attention and driving engagement. The challenge? How to cut through the noise with designs that “stand out” and actually convert.   Here’s what we’ve found works best:   1️⃣ Less is more. Focus on the key offer with clear, concise messaging. Don’t overwhelm with too much text.   2️⃣ Motion & Interactivity: static ads is a thumb down; dynamic content—like GIFs, animations, and interactive elements draws the eye. The more interactive, the more engaging.   3️⃣ Urgency. Design is also about creating emotion. Incorporating countdown timers, limited-time offers, or 'only X left in stock' elements taps into that sense of urgency.   4️⃣ Mobile-First Approach: 2024's shoppers are mostly mobile. Prioritizing mobile-friendly designs ensures that your visuals and CTAs are clear, clickable, and fast-loading on every screen. 5️⃣ Bundle Shopping: Shoppers love added value, and offering bundle deals can increase cart value and boost overall sales. Design visually appealing bundles to capture interest at first glance.   As we gear up for another Black Friday rush, remember - good design doesn’t just look great, it drives action. #Ecommerce #Ecommercedesign #Ecommercemarketing #ecommercedevelopment #retail #ecommercetrends #insights #designinsights
