What does your branding say about your business?

We created three fictional dental clinics to show how design impacts trust and perception:

1️⃣ Chewy Charlie’s Chompers (Gnashington-on-Sea) – Chaotic, rushed, and full of mistakes. It screams “we don’t care,” even if the service itself is great.

2️⃣ SmileSort Surgery (Plaqueville) – A functional but uninspiring design. It says, “We’re here, but we don’t stand out.”

3️⃣ BrightBite Dental Clinic (Fangchester) – Clean, modern, and professional. This design says, “We’re experts, and you can trust us.”

Poor design doesn’t just look bad—it sends a subconscious message about your attention to detail, professionalism, and care for your customers. When businesses rely on rushed or DIY designs from team members without the right skills, they risk losing trust before customers even walk through the door.

Investing in professional branding tells your audience:
💡 You care about quality.
💡 You value their trust.
💡 You take your business seriously.

📩 Don’t let bad design speak for your business. Let’s create something that inspires confidence and gets results!

Phone Camera Tips for Capturing the Northern Lights

We caught the northern lights last night but timed it wrong. Tonight’s looking clearer, so here’s hoping for another chance! If you’re out with your phone, here’s how to get the best shots:

Android users 📱
Open your camera app, go to “More,” and look for a night mode. If you’ve got it, select that, hold your phone steady, and you should be good when the lights are visible.

If there’s no night mode but you have Pro mode, bump up the ISO to 800 and set the shutter speed to about 10 seconds if possible.

iPhone users 📱
Night mode might pop up automatically in low light (you’ll see a yellow icon next to the flash button). Just point your phone, and it’ll handle the rest with a 3-second exposure.

If that’s too dark, tap the up arrow at the top of the screen, hit the night mode icon (next to the flash), and scroll to increase the exposure time up to 10 seconds.

General Phone Photography Tips
Use a tripod for sharper images, and tap to focus on a bright star. For extra control, try these apps:

• iPhone: NightCap Camera
• Android: Open Camera

Suggested settings:

• ISO: 2000
• Aperture: Lowest possible number
• Shutter speed: 10 seconds (with a tripod for stability)

Fingers crossed for clear skies and a great show tonight! 🌌
