Beyond the Obvious – Brand Images that WORK!

Not only are these images boring, they say absolutely nothing about your brand! I say, ditch the obvious stuff and instead focus on images that connect, tell your story and show emotion!

My client, Talmar, and I had just started our brainstorming call together when she admitted this to me.
