His facial expression is usually one of disappointment in all of us, while his sharp tongue demands attention. Patton doesn't have delusions of grandeur.  He is who he is. Take it or leave it. I share some of these traits with Patton. What can I say?  Mama tried.]]> 2022-05-12 20:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mikevermigli/35ihv46ztlsuxzu0/wish/2181906020 mikevermigli https://padlet.com/mikevermigli/35ihv46ztlsuxzu0/wish/2181925017 The Broke Black Girl (Dasha) cuts straight to the chase.  No need for the interactor to meander or search to find what her brand is all about.  I will strive for shortening the journey for the visitor to get to the message (and thus to the core of my branding).  ]]> 2022-05-12 21:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mikevermigli/35ihv46ztlsuxzu0/wish/2181925017 mikevermigli https://padlet.com/mikevermigli/35ihv46ztlsuxzu0/wish/2183144649 From a design, layout, and usability standpoint, Tony nails it.  The word "revitalize" is often associated with water and his background demonstrates this.  His sans fonts provide some warmth and his calls-to-action are keenly distributed.  Scrolling down, Tony also has a clean and identifiable index.  Rather than have to hover over the photos to know what's behind them, Tony's page lists the content up front.  He keeps this limited to six categories; this prevents convolution of the brand message.]]> 2022-05-13 16:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mikevermigli/35ihv46ztlsuxzu0/wish/2183144649
