Great Design Lies Not In Just The Aesthetics…

Pretty alone doesn’t cut it. Your designs should be useful (functional), designed with simplicity and clear intent (purpose), and should yield results for awareness and sales (Impact).

This three things when kept in perspective make great design.

Let’s take a closer look for better understanding.

There are some ugly looking products that are quite useful. These always attract an audience whose focus is based on functionality. These often sell well, but may put off an audience that cares a lot about aesthetics and the tiny details.🤷🏽‍♀️


Then there some pretty looking product that are quite useless. These always attract instant attention at first. However, when closely examined for functionality, many walk away. Except a few collectors who just love pretty and shiny🤩things.🤣🤣🤣


Then there are those pretty and functional products, that take a while to figure out how they are used. So the complexity discourages some from purchasing those, thus affecting the impact the designed product or service would have had, if designed with simplicity.


The trick is in finding the balance between a pretty design that is functional and clear, thus aiding maximum impact.


Great design with these three things in place (functionality, clarity of purpose and impact) will always generate sales.
This significantly reduces the pain points in the PR efforts and marketing campaigns for such products or services.


What other thing do you think makes great design?

Difficult Conversations Are Important!

Difficult conversations test our level of maturity and gives us the opportunity for clarity from communicating.
Helping us separate facts from assumptions, reality from emotional reactions and falsehood from truth.

Difficult conversations often requires a level of vulnerability and this is the reason why many run from or avoid them.
Difficult conversations also require deliberate actions, sometimes not in favor of or to the satisfaction or comfort of the concerned parties. So many avoid them.

It is better to be decisive after a clear assessment of a situation, than to be on the fence of decisions. With difficult conversations, one must be willing to take responsibility.

All communication efforts aren’t always simple.
Many must be held and that sometimes includes saying “No”.
Yes, “No” is allowed.
“No” is a powerful word.
It’s not a crime to say “No”.
In fact, it is a healthy practice that allows you to say “Yes” to things you really want.

Having difficulty conversations is important, and saves one from undue stress and more complex problems. So, be willing to become open, vulnerable, precise, clear and intentional.
Have you ever watched a soap opera unfold and wished many times that a character had just spoke up about something from the onset?

You probably wished a thousand times that they had been brave enough to have that “Difficult Conversation”.
A communication effort that would have saved everyone from a whole lot of complex problems.

Yet as you watched the movie unfold, you really wished that they had been brave enough and decisive.

However, there was really nothing you could do about it.
Unless, they made a choice to have that difficult conversation. You knew without a doubt that, things could only get worse.

In life it’s the same for us.
So, stop running away from difficult conversations, just because they make one feel uncomfortable for a while or can cause a person to feel upset.
Effective communication requires having those difficult conversations.
Be brave!

Brave Review: The Power of Favor

I must say that “The Power of Favor” is the most positive and uplifting book I’ve read so far.
Joel Osteen’s (@joelosteen) written words are just as he speaks.🤣🤣🤣 
It’s almost amusing😅and it’s quite easy to imagine that He is right before you in person.😊.

He is quite authentic and from reading his book, you will discover a depth of insight on God’s word.
He also expresses his thoughts with much simplicity that makes reading this book so easy.😃

Reading it will give you much hope and teach you to align your words and actions with what God’s word says about you. 
So that you are aligned and well positioned to received the extra ordinary and favor of God.
It helps you see that, beyond the efforts and exteriors of what you can do and should do as a responsible human, there is more that can be accomplished, only by leaning on God and His ability to do what you can’t do for yourself.

That force is called “Favor”.
The miraculous dimension that helps you in life and purpose. It is the force that chooses you and helps you when you aren’t the most qualified, best or the most likely to be chosen.
“Favor” makes the impossible possible.
A dimension where protocols are broken for your sake.

Reading this book will leave you also feeling empowered, more hopeful, light hearted and with a renewed faith in God.
A deep knowing that God wants to grant you favor, and a belief that He simply wants to help you, just because.

Just because He loves you and He wants you to fulfill your purpose.
With many testimonies about real people and their favor transformations, including BTS stories and insight on how the “The Compaq Center” was acquired by Lakewood.
Reading all of this is truly phenomenal!😃

This is such a great book and I think it’s one you will want to revisit from time to time.
Such an amazing book by Joel Osteen and a highly recommended read!
If you need an encouragement and real change, then this is for you.😊👍🏽
