The Creative Alliance builds communities by bringing artists and businesses together. We’re growing the design and business communities by providing top notch creative support to area businesses and holding education programs for all. We strongly believe in creating together and sharing creative insight. We promote the Tacoma metro area as a center for creative production. The Alliance educates and supports all who wish to share their gifts and talents in the community. As professional and independent designers (graphic, publication/page layout, web), marketers, programmers, and writers, we see the need and benefits of offering more services without expanding our own business services and still do the work in which we excel. We also see the need for more education for designers, businesses, and the community. We promote smart design, unique messaging, and a growth-mindset of collaboration. Please remain professional, business casual in all in-person and online interactions.

Defining your customer profiles is crucial for long-term success.

You need to align your messaging with the people most likely to select your service.

A – Ideal Audience
B – Secondary Audiences
Z – Audiences to Avoid

From Erik Soper & Clarity Business Design

This approach to defining Customer Avatars will help you to position your brand messaging towards more of the right people, and fewer of the wrong people.

Royalty-free Vector Illustrations for Commercial Use

One new high-quality, free illustration each day. Bring your ideas to life with Scale.

Gender options
Don't be forced to use a male character in all illustrations. We will be introducing a female character choice for each illustration.

Illustration packs
We also plan to release illustration packs for specific industries. So you not only get beautiful illustrations, but also those that are apt for your industry!

Skin colour options
Adapt the illustrations to showcase diversity. While we already have illustrations across race, you can change it for every illustration!

Other design styles
While we worked very hard to define the current design style, we don't want to be bound to a single design style. We will launch illustrations in alternate design styles too :-)

A new free, open-source and high-quality illustration each day - no attribution needed! Commercial, academic, or your pet project, doesn't matter. Use Scale to beautify your project.

SILENCE IS FEEDBACK

"My executive assistant knows she’s doing a good job when she doesn’t hear from me. If she’s not doing well, I tell her exactly what she’s doing wrong.

"That doesn’t work!

"It leaves lots of uncertainty. Uncertainty leads to fear. And fear leads to poor decision making and bad performance."

Almost nobody gets enough feedback at work for optimal performance and fulfillment. Some get far, far too little. Are you delivering your part?

Digital marketing is on the rise.

If you’re looking to improve the quality of your graphic designs, this post is for you.
1. Studies reveal that content containing images gets up to 94% more views. With this fact, you really need to focus on displaying your images where they can catch the most attention, such as websites and social media…
2. Good communication with your designer is extremely important. Use a creative brief, which should include:
• What is this project’s purpose?
• Who is the audience?
• What are the specific due dates and deliverables?
3. Be careful with “More Is Best” because it isn’t. When finalizing your graphic design services, consider if your approach is realistic.

Struggling to see results from your graphic design services? Let's take a look at 5 important things you're getting around about graphics.
