![Embrace Your Style: Defying Design Norms [Video]](https://video.getpvd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/mp_207160_0_0jpg.jpg)
In this video, renowned designer James Victoria shares valuable insights on the balance between uniqueness and clarity in design. He encourages young designers to embrace their own style and voice, rather than conforming to established norms. James emphasizes the importance of immediacy in his work, aiming to create designs that feel natural and effortless. However, he acknowledges that this approach can sometimes lead to illegibility, causing clients to question the readability. Despite this, James believes in the intelligence and effort of his audience, accepting that not everyone may immediately grasp his designs. Chris discusses the controversial case of the redesigned Kia logo, highlighting how initial positive impressions can be easily swayed by negative opinions. James suggests that a company can successfully maintain an unconventional logo if they execute it well and allow time for familiarity to develop. James compares this adaptability to everyday choices, such as selecting a jelly at the grocery store based on its appearance and language on the packaging. Ultimately, James concludes that if a company delivers quality products or services, minor issues with legibility in their logo will be outweighed by positive experiences. ===🚀 Futur AcceleratorThe step-by-step blueprint and coaching program designed to get your creative business off the ground:https://thefutur.com/accelerator🥇 Futur Pro The professional creative community designed to grow your personal brand, your business, and your network:https://thefutur.com/pro✍️ Other Courses, Templates, and Tools:https://thefutur.com/shop🎙 The Futur Podcast:https://thefutur.com/podcastRecommended books, tools, music, resources, typefaces & more: https://thefutur.com/recommendationsMusic by Epidemic Sound:http://share.epidemicsound.com/thefuturShorts Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/@thefutur/shortsWe love getting your letters.

✖️ FROM TV NEWS TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP – How & why I started a business to help other business owners in CanadaI’m Lisa Ostrikoff & I used to work in TV News as a Journalist / Anchor over the span of a decade… then one day I realized how ‘done’ with that industry I was (plenty of stories for another day) + made a snap decision to quit due to serious internal misalignment issues… and had to figure something else out.That was in 2009.In my quest to finally create content (just like BizBOXTV produces for other business owners)… This is a quick story about how I took what I knew from being a Journalist for Global TV and turned it into something called “Brand Journalism” that I ultimately ended up trademarking in Canada.It’s been quite the journey so far ~ and I’ve had the pleasure of working with so many amazing business owners over the course of the past 14 years.Thanks for checking out test Video #3 of my first rambling series in an effort to get over myself + finally start creating my own content again ;)www.bizboxtv.com#business #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #finance #media #canada #news #global #globalnews #marketing #advertising #womeninbusinesss #femaleentrepreneur #creatoreconomy #creator #ceo #vancouver #calgary #toronto #lisaostrikoff #brandjournalism #storytelling

He emphasizes that the difference between being a starving artist and being paid to do what you love is not about having a grand vision or trying to change the world all at once. Instead, it’s about taking small steps and focusing on mastering a skill, producing quality content, and monetizing it.The importance of focusing on the 3 M’s: Mastery, Media, and Monetization. Chris believes that mastering a skill, producing content that demonstrates your mastery, and then monetizing it is the key to achieving your full potential. He emphasizes that taking small steps and focusing on what’s in front of you is crucial to success.
