Print in the digital age 

In the last three decades, the world has changed radically, making way for mass digitalisation where most content is accessed online. This has caused many people to question the future of Print marketing. However, many people argue that online advertising, albeit very accurate and targeted, can also be overly pushy and harmful. This type of advertising is also very easily overlooked and can be lost in an oversaturated sea of content.

After seeing a Print advertisement, customers are more likely to respond well to a specific business or product. This type of advertisement is also looked at more and kept for longer. Print media is still a leading form of marketing for many industries and can fare exceptionally well when used locally for small businesses.

Why is graphic design important for Print advertising.

Graphic design is a potent visual communication tool for helping businesses tell their story, create a lasting brand identity and creatively market their company to the world. Graphic designers must be proficient in design software, such as Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Excellent graphic design skills are vitally important for companies to make a solid first impression and ensure that their brand stands out from the competition.

Print design is a broad industry, being used for things like:

• Books, magazines and newspapers,
• Branded Packaging and Shopping Bags,
• Business Cards, labels, Brochures and Flyers,
• Stationary, Calendars, Posters and Menus,
• Billboards, signage and Banners,

• Cards, greetings cards and Invitations, and
• Print advertisements.

The benefits of Print design

Print design and excellent graphics can make or break your marketing strategy. Some benefits of Print design & marketing include:

1. Printed materials can be seen and felt.
2. Evokes greater recall and emotional response.
3. Can be read multiple times and is more likely to be kept for a lot longer.
4. Is seen as more trustworthy than pop-ups and other online ads.
5. They maximise your chances of getting conversions.
