,。

For a brand to be remembered, advertising alone is no longer enough.

。

Many companies now hire designers to reposition their image.

、。

Designers first find out who the customers are and in what setting the product is used.

,。

Sometimes changing the colour of one version alone will visibly move sales.

,。

Last year one company changed its packaging from flashy to simple and became more popular instead.

:。

But changing too often is risky too: loyal customers feel it no longer looks like the same thing.

,。

So professional design isn't about being as new as possible, but about being recognisable at a glance.

。

That is exactly why brands are willing to spend money on design.
