Have you heard this before, designers? On the surface, it’s a statement that sounds legit. It uses relevant jargon. Objective-sounding in nature. A ‘glittering generality’–“It doesn’t fit within or brand guidelines”.

However, I recommend that you peel that onion. Because more often than not, when a client says a design is not within brand guidelines, they actually mean something else entirely. My guess: it is one or a few of these 5 things that they actually want to communicate.

7 years ago today! I enjoyed making this EP. Recording at @BlueProstudios with @johnwebber aka Gandalf The Grey and the mix with @Shadowx (Hey Baby Baby) still makes me think uh-huh 😉 Main Pic by @andyfallon with @bluntspear capturing the hooks and my vision for this EP Art cover perfectly. Thank You all of you and to all who supported and continue to support my music. Shout out to @Honda for selecting this track for a project back then - love you guys! I am totally enjoying creating new music right now and love what I’ve done before. My aim has always been to write lyrics people can relate to and create music that still pops or moves you somehow, writing hooks no matter the era... so reminisce with me and do check out the EP here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/hooked-on-you-ep/id428129735 #Hooked #HookedOnYou #CandyRoseMusic #icandyrose #QueenOfHooks #unsignedartist #UKRepping #Literally #BGGH #SpreadLove #spreadmusic 💋💕❤️💕

All Cap, No BS. Never stop captioning and adding text to your paid and organic social videos. It promotes engagement, accessibility and amplifies messaging. Just remember there is a right way to incorporate text in-video. Part of that–sad I have to say this–includes making your copy readable.
