“Why is brand writing still largely ignored?”

Brand writing often goes unnoticed and uncredited in press coverage of brand projects, leading to frustration among copywriters.
Historically, brand has been rooted in design, with writing considered as a visual element rather than a strategic component.
Despite the growing recognition of the importance of language in branding, the industry still primarily views brand as design-centric.
Designers are increasingly valuing the impact of good writing on brand depth, contrary to outdated beliefs that they prioritize only visual elements.
Clients are now more aware of the value of verbal branding and often involve writers early in the branding process.
Successful brands seamlessly integrate visual and verbal components to create a cohesive identity.
Both agencies and trade press share responsibility in ensuring that writing in brand projects receives adequate recognition.
Writers are encouraged to advocate for their craft and engage more actively in promoting the importance of verbal branding.

Meet the Isle of Man’s main graphic designer

Christina Gleave is the lead creative designer at Manx National Heritage (MNH) responsible for the graphic design of historic sites, attractions, and events on the Isle of Man.
Gleave's role involves balancing heritage preservation with the need to make designs fresh and accessible, as seen in the current exhibition at Manx Museum featuring the works of Archibald Knox.
Archibald Knox, a Manx-born designer, made significant contributions to Britain's Arts and Crafts movement and his works are being showcased, highlighting his creative output.
Gleave handles various design tasks, including exhibition design, marketing materials, educational resources, and branding for MNH.
She updated MNH's branding by eliminating the Celtic knot and red color, opting for a cleaner purple logo design that distinguishes it from previous iterations.
Gleave's responsibilities include designing four exhibitions annually, catering to diverse audiences from locals to tourists and coordinating with curators to tell engaging stories.
She faces challenges such as designing for different groups like school visitors, cruise ship passengers, and motorbike enthusiasts during events like the TT Races.
Gleave's use of Optima typeface for signage and wayfinding across the island ensures consistency and easy navigation for visitors.
Despite weather challenges and supply delays, Gleave's hands-on approach allows her to witness audience engagement with her designs at heritage sites.
The ongoing Knox exhibition provides Gleave with the opportunity to observe audience interactions and make adjustments for future projects based on visitor feedback.
Her work extends to creating print materials for marketing and communications, showcasing her broad expertise in graphic design for cultural heritage.

Building An Offline-Friendly Image Upload System

Poor network connectivity can lead to frustrations when uploading files online, requiring constant monitoring and retries.
Building an offline-friendly image upload system can significantly enhance user experience in such situations.
The system involves using PWA technologies like IndexedDB, service workers, and the Background Sync API.
Users select an image which is then stored locally in IndexedDB if a stable network connection is not available.
The service worker detects when the network is restored and initiates the upload process automatically.
Implementing the system involves allowing image selection, registering the service worker, and checking network connectivity.
Sync events are registered to handle pending uploads, and the background sync process takes care of uploading images.
Images are stored in IndexedDB asynchronously to prevent blocking the main JavaScript thread.
Retrieving and uploading images from IndexedDB is managed by the service worker once the network connection is stable.
Considerations include addressing limitations such as unreliable internet connectivity detection and browser support.
