I like to snack. I’m a big snacker.
And I like to examine the packaging that houses my snacks. It’s a side effect of being a content marketer.
Recently, I studied the wrapper of a granola bar. One side listed the ingredients, and the other side was white with small, green polka dots.
Polka dots seem upbeat and happy — feelings the manufacturer wants you to have when you eat their granola bar, so that you associate their product with positive emotions and continue to purchase it.
But I have no idea if that was the intention; I’m no design expert.
That’s why I’m going to direct you to distinguished designers who will help you enhance your content with smart and beautiful web design.
