Feb 19th is mine,and av gotten my patner Feb 7th.

Hmmm... I'm Feb 22...
Some days difference.
Nice to meet you though.

Dude, why open multiple threads to show same paintings by you?
Asides not being necessary, it doesn't help you either because nobody has time to be opening multiple threads by the same person.
Put all your designs in one thread and help make this section organized.


Thank you.

Novel, Story, Pages, book, Read

Novel; the arm rest of the couch

Story; the book the lady is holding

Read; the dog's ears to the girl's head

Book; the man's ear to his reading glasses

Words ; the flower

Pages ; the boy's trouser

Many Nigerian firms, most especially start ups and SME's pay little attention to emotional branding, even their visual brand assets/identity are not driven by any fundamental ideals or values. Most cannot answer convincingly the question 'why do you do what you do?' sadly most 'entrepreneurs' are just in for the money. In the long term, they fail because clients and customers fail to connect with them.

In my own opinion, good branding starts from the moment a firm or person realises the true, factual, real and unique 'why' of what they do. Most times, the why can be summed up in one word, a phrase, sometimes a sentence. it grows into a mantra, value, vision, mission and even personality traits for the brand.

In some cases, some businesses know the value of branding, but they want to be everything at the same time without focusing on their strongest value. They want to be seen as bold, flexible, smart, grounded, visionary, practical, strong etc all at the same time, they fail to realize that is is better to fuel their strongest attribute and be known for it than to be at the same time, many things.

Another issue is that of a brand contradicting itself. Some brands are well defined but they don't practice or project the values they claim to represent. an example is Bank PHB, they sold themselves as visionary and futuristic but they failed yo live to to their values.

There are so many factors to be considered in branding but it all starts with defining who your business is and why you do what you do. If you truly know your 'why', you are on the right track

Nigeria as a country and Nigerians as a people need a lot of education and enlightenment as regards startups and branding individually and as a pair. Even Nigerian designers that should saddle themselves with part of the enlightenment responsibilities are mostly ignorant and dwell in mediocrity. All they want to do is just make money with little or no consideration for the welfare of their client and his/her business.

I'll be looking up similar articles around the web and bringing them here to at least play my part and share some knowledge.

Thanks for your brilliant contribution. Really informative.

When it comes to building a brand, business or personal, there are many elements that must be considered in order to assemble it correctly. Such elements are separated into two categories: intellectual and emotional. And while the intellectual elements should, by no means, be diminished, when you think about the power branding actively holds, it is the emotional elements that provide the connective tissue that we search for.

Think about it. The affinity and equity of any brand are deeply rooted in how a person feels. That is why it is important, in the context of your personal brand, to discuss individual elements, the sum of which comprise the emotional category of branding.

Integrity
Principles mean a lot to people. Shared principles bring groups of people together to create networks and communities. The key here is being able to adhere to your principles, whatever they are. Such adherence is what builds your integrity and allows people to understand what kind of person you are. Furthermore, integrity provides the foundation on which you can stand your ground, something that we all should be able to do.

Reputation
Very much connected to integrity, your reputation is an element of your brand that you hold vast control over. When it comes to building your reputation, consistency is important. Please be sure not to confuse consistency with complacency. Consistency, in this context, includes steady growth whether it is from learning more, taking on more responsibility and the like. Constructing your reputation in this way helps build this next valuable element of branding.

Trust
This should be no surprise to anyone. Trust is something that we all want -- we want to trust those that we know and want to be trusted by them. Trust breeds affinity and loyalty. Trust creates the infrastructure for the element that we all want to achieve. And that is…

Relationships
We as humans naturally seek out relationships. We are social beings, so we look to acquire and retain relationships with people that are like us, that we like, that like us back and that we can trust. These relationships are part and parcel of what determines whether or not we are successful in life and it is difficult, if not impossible, to create this type of connection with someone else without integrity, reputation, and trust. Recognizing and realizing this fact will help you in your personal relationships as well as your business endeavors. It is the relationship that you build that allows you to become bigger, better, faster, or stronger.

There is a saying that has often been attributed to George Bradt, “…people don’t buy products, they buy brands,” and while this was said about business, the brand elements listed above can easily show how this quote applies to personal branding as well. It’s just that, in this case, instead of a person buying, they are buying into you. For a personal brand, especially when referring to your career, that is exactly what you are looking for.

I have the feeling that There is something else behind your says. No one is Art Master, no one can judge Art right. No improvement needed if you understand Art movement of "IMPRESSIONISM"

Lot of Art jurist have seen this and made lots of great comments both Nigeria and all over.

If you want me to believe that i still need lot of improvement then its gonna be a challenge to upload your Artworks here for me to see how good you are. Expecting!!!

Bro... I'm not trying to degrade or start a competition with you. If you tried going through my profile, you would have seen and understood that we are in very different art fields.

As regards my comment saying there's room for improvement... I don't think I said anything wrong. There's always room for improvement even if you are as good as pablo picasso. So take a chill pin on the arrogance and appreciate harmless comments.

Thank you.

What's the essence of you opening multiple threads with different works when you can just combine them all on a single thread?
That way, you can name it your portfolio and it might even attract frontpage consideration.
Or are you satisfied with the reception they are getting individually?

Good job by the way, still lots of room for improvement.

boss small small na, pity am na , , i understand the design is not so good , lets help him with advice and all that , you too Maruf05 humble yourself na
I would advice you work more on your skill, practice more, watch more tutorials , keep getting better dont stop learning !!!

Honestly, I was just short of words. I almost doubted my own meaning of luxury, had to revisit the dictionary.
All in all, if he asked for assistance, I'm sure my response would have been different.

Hope you are having a better weekend than I am.

[quote author=Maruf05 post=45180070][/quote]Yes boss!

You call this luxury?

Like seriously?

Jeez! My eyes are hurting already.
Everything is wrong with the design, don't even know where to start from.

emeralddayo:

I need a logo of a man standing by a house for Father's House Foundation (FHF)

How much will that cost me? The logo is to be used on a website.

If you can come up with something nice, let me know.

Thanks.

Good morning sir,
There's a reason I provided you with the link to this thread and it sure isn't for you to come make the same open offer. I expected you to go though the different pirtfolios, see designers that you feel will meet up to the standard you need and contact them. That will save you from being swindled by mediocres.

Thank you.

This is why many of you Nigeria youths don't get big jobs. You think too high of yourselves and throw away opportunities to showcase your skills.
This same kind of thread I opened sometime ago got the winner the money and later I referred him to a company he works with till date.
I'm highly ashamed of you that you'd come up with such a post like this.
I could easily get a graphics designer on the streets or elsewhere to design this logo for as little as N5k but I chose to come on here.
Here you are calling it an insult...smh

It's people like you that destroy professionalism in Nigeria. And after you succeed in encouraging mediocrity, you start crying to whoever cares to listen that Nigerians are lazy and unprofessional.

A yoruba saying goes thus... Whatever you can't accept as a rich man, it's from your poor days that you'll start rejecting it.

It's people like you that destroy the industry with your greed and still expect it to grow. Why not seek a professional designer? Because you'll rather pay a mediocre roadside designer peanuts to give you mediocre designs.

We know our worth and won't settle for less.

This is more of an insult than encouragement.
Most designers here definitely charge more than 10k for a logo design. But you want to have a wide range of designs and pick one of them for 10k? Asides that, you'll be wasting the time and effort of the others who didn't 'win'. Time they could have invested in probably developing themselves.
So as far as I'm concerned, this is an insult.
