In this video, we chat with Dora Aston, Director of Think! Associates, Brand Design and Marketing based in Taunton, Somerset. A subject very close to our heart, as designers ourselves.
We discuss the value of design and brand strategy and working in collaboration with others that makes for some stunning results both visually and in clients seeing their business grow and succeed. Dora has worked in the graphic design industry for over 30 years. She started my career pre the digital age when print design was all there was and the tools involved reprographic pens, a scalpel, cow gum, and a very steady hand! Thankfully for Dora, the days of the Apple Macintosh computer were not far off, and, along with the specialist software, they afforded her the time and technology to create some truly ground-breaking design and advance into an era of digital communications. Today, it’s a pleasure for her to work with a younger generation of designers who bring fresh thinking, innovative ideas, new Mac skills and an instinctive ability to exploit the latest media channels, all of which we help nurture and direct towards building powerful strategic branding and communications for their clients.
