Review of a momentous year in history: 2020

1/26/2021

We feel really lucky to have been able to continue working during a global pandemic, when so many other individuals and businesses have lost work due to restrictions and lock downs. The business model of Alex Vann Design has always been to facilitate 'remote' working as a lot of our customers are business owners themselves and can't always make face to face meetings - although of course that would be perfect, in an ideal world.

Please take a minute (well, 2 minutes and 20 seconds!) to watch our review video above which showcases some of the standout projects. Otherwise, here are a few selected images below along with a slideshow.

The variety of work has been really pleasing. A lot of branding and logo design which is our specialty alongside document design, garments, website, flyers and leaflets and business stationery.
Alex also completed some private portrait commissions including his first coloured pencil drawing (above).

Looking at your business's marketing and design during Covid-19

We hope you are staying fit and well as we find ourselves in unprecedented times, a global and invisible threat to our livelihoods, communities and loved ones. Like most small businesses, AVD has had to adapt quickly to be able to offer a high quality service to our customers. As a positive by-product of having more time on our hands, why not use this time to 'reset' your business aims / design / marketing. Here are some ideas:

You could use this time of Covid-19 to review your business:

Write a growth plan: where are you going, how will you get there?
Write a marketing plan: our friends at Obsidian Content Creation recently shared the importance of continuing to market in these tough times.
Logo design: we are specialists in this (see some recent examples below), just get in touch
Order print of leaflets / business cards production and delivery to an address of your choice (see some recent examples below)
Review / rewrite your business plan
Research new customers
Use Office for National Statistics to back up your business's claims
If you use conferencing apps, why not have a pull up banner made with your branding on to use as a backdrop instead of pots and pans in your kitchen! (see below)
Apply for funding available to you (this is the kind of thing WE tend to put off during 'normal' working times
Review your website: we can support with this
Our sister company Real Arts Workshops has launched a web page full of creative activities that AVD has designed for families to do during Covid
