Every brand has a voice that carries messages to its audiences. It sounds simple. It’s really not. In this session, we will explore ways to understand the minds of our audiences and how we craft compelling and persuasive messaging. We will also discuss Berea’s unique “voice” and how we can all stay in tune.

Graphic Design

Messaging, brand, audience, organization and design principles &#8211; a lot goes into the creation of a web page. In this session, we’ll delve into building a page that not only looks visually appealing but also engages visitors.
This time, we’ll focus solely on the berea.edu WordPress backend. We’ll talk about our favorite layouts and blocks, use page examples from current pages, see new designs that we’re working on, and discuss user psychology and behavior.
Join us for an informative session where we’ll take everything we discussed and apply it to a page on the website.
