To tell unique stories, and make them accessible and comprehensible

A good design in storytelling evokes emotions and make people act. Brand should think about incorporate branding stories and rationale with logo, branding colour, package design etc.

Support the goal of a campaign

Great design is critical to getting traction with almost any campaign. Design can communicate brand and raise visibility, and thus drive conversions.

Build credibility

It is important in building brand credibility, particularly in web credibility. Just a few seconds, when audiences are first opening a brand's app or site, they're having a gut reaction to the design and deciding whether it's credible or not.

Direct the viewer’s eye

A simple way to direct a viewer's eyes is to use eye-catching design. It draws customers/audiences in and guides them along with an experience.

To ensure your message resonates with your audience

Brand colour, for example, is one of the key ways that brands can communicate visually. So the design should be purposeful. Brands can draw connections between the colours they use and the meaning assigned.

When entering a new market, some stylistic nuances may unwittingly repel or attract customers to another. Brands should find a way to adjust their designs and messaging to appeal to the new market. A user interface and experience, for example, that fits their expectations will subconsciously validate it to be trustworthy and worthwhile. Design studio, including design localization, helps companies bridging the gap between diverse consumers to build a wholly international customer base.

Regarding China market, product design or website design is an important segment to attaining good market shares in the dynamic Chinese consumer market. Chinese consumers observe ever-changing trends which entail ever-changing needs and wants.
