UI vs UX Design: What’s the Difference (and Why Should You Care)?

When you hear designers throwing around words like UI and UX, you might smile and nod while wondering what alphabet soup they’re speaking.

Don’t worry — you’re not alone.
Let’s break it down in plain Twisted T-style.

🎨 UI Design: The Paint and Finish

UI stands for User Interface.
It’s all about how things look — the visuals, layout, buttons, colors, and fonts. It’s the digital makeup that helps your website or app show up looking its best.

When you land on a page and think “Ooh, this looks clean!” or “Ugh, this is a mess,”
you’re reacting to the UI.

Key parts of UI design:

Visual styling (color, font, iconography)
Layout and screen structure
Interactive elements like buttons and sliders
Maintaining consistent brand aesthetics

💡 Imagine: UI is the outfit your website wears on a first date. Stylish, coordinated, and hopefully not trying too hard.

🧠 UX Design: The Structure and Feel

UX stands for User Experience.
This is where strategy, psychology, and flow come in. UX design is about how things work and feel for the user. Can they find what they’re looking for? Do they feel guided, not lost?

If UI is the outfit, UX is the vibe.

Key parts of UX design:

Navigation logic
User journey mapping
Accessibility and inclusivity
Solving user problems through smart layout

💡 Example: A gorgeous menu (UI) is useless if the "Order Now" button is buried (UX fail). Good UX makes sure everything works how people expect it to.

💡 So, Which One’s More Important?

Trick question — it’s BOTH.
You can have a stunning UI but a confusing UX. Or a smooth UX with a design that feels like a 2001 time capsule.

The magic happens when UI + UX work together — like peanut butter and jelly… if jelly also ran a usability test.

✅ Benefits of Strong UI Design:

Makes a killer first impression
Strengthens brand identity and consistency
Encourages users to stay longer
Builds visual trust

✅ Benefits of Strong UX Design:

Increases conversions (like clicks, signups, or sales)
Improves customer satisfaction
Reduces bounce rate and confusion
Makes your design actually usable

🌀 Final Thoughts from Twisted T

At Twisted T, we design with both the eye and the experience in mind.
Because your brand doesn’t just need to look good — it needs to work well too.

Whether we’re building social visuals, sales funnels, or digital ads, we’re always asking:

“How does this look?” and “How does this feel?”

Want a brand that clicks and converts?
📩 Let’s chat — UI/UX is kind of our thing.

🎨 The Elements of Digital Design: What Makes a Visual Actually Work?

Ever scroll past a graphic and instantly feel like it just gets it?

And then others — even if well-made — leave you... underwhelmed?

That’s the power of design done right. But great design doesn’t just “happen” — it’s built on the backbone of key elements working in harmony.

At Twisted T, we don’t just throw pretty fonts and cool colors together — we craft visuals with purpose. And that starts with understanding the fundamentals of digital design.

Let’s break them down:

1. Color

Color does more than make things pretty.
It sets the mood, evokes emotion, and even guides your viewer's eyes.

🟡 Bright = energetic
🔵 Cool tones = calm
🔴 Red = urgency or boldness
🎨 Pro Tip: Stick to a strategic palette — not a rainbow of chaos.

2. Typography

Fonts aren’t just letters. They’re attitude.
Are you formal serif or playful sans-serif? Chic script or bold display?

Typography affects:

Readability
Tone of voice
Brand personality

💡 Twisted T tip: Pair 2 fonts max — contrast is key, not confusion.

3. Layout & Composition

This is where design meets structure.
Good layout ensures everything has its place — making your message clear, scannable, and intentional.

📏 Think: margins, spacing, alignment, and hierarchy.
You want eyes to move where you want them to.

4. Visual Hierarchy

Everything can’t be the loudest thing on the page.
This element ensures:

Headlines stand out
Subtext supports
Buttons and CTAs guide action

👀 Viewers should know what to read first, second, and next.

5. Imagery & Iconography

Strong design often leans on the right imagery — whether that’s illustrations, photos, or icons.

✔️ High-quality images
✔️ Consistent style
✔️ Purpose-driven (not just filler)

Icons also play a big role in guiding interaction — especially in mobile-first digital design.

6. Whitespace (Negative Space)

Don’t fear the space between things.
Whitespace gives breathing room, boosts readability, and makes designs feel clean — not cluttered.

📌 Remember: If everything is screaming, nothing is heard.

🌀 Final Thoughts from Twisted T

Digital design isn’t just about “looking good” — it’s about communicating clearly and connecting deeply.

When these elements work together, your message becomes magnetic.
Your brand becomes memorable.
And your visuals? Scroll-stopping.

Need help putting these principles into action?
Let’s design something bold, meaningful, and totally you.

Going Digital: Why Your Advertising Needs a Wi-Fi Signal (Not Just a Flyer)

Let’s be real: printing 1,000 flyers to hand out at the local parking lot might feel productive…

But if no one actually reads them, was it worth the papercut?

Today, businesses of all sizes — from one-woman creative studios (hey 👋) to booming brands — are discovering the power of going digital with their advertising. And if you’re not already on the digital train, it might just be leaving the station without you.

Here’s why going digital isn’t just smart — it’s essential.

🌍 1. Wider Reach, Way Less Effort

With digital ads, you're not limited to your suburb, city, or that awkward billboard on Main Road.
You can reach literally anyone, anywhere — and tailor your message to show up in front of your dream client while they scroll Instagram in their PJs.

💡 Example: One boosted Facebook post from Twisted T reached more people in 24 hours than a full week of cold calling. (And no awkward small talk.)

🎯 2. Targeting = Magic

Let’s say you sell handmade dog bowties. With print ads, you hope a dog lover picks up your flyer.
With digital? You can target dog owners, in your city, who love pet fashion, and shop online.

It’s like advertising straight into their soul.

✅ Target by age, interest, location, behavior, job title — even relationship status (hello, Valentine’s Day campaigns!).

📈 3. Track Everything (So You Know What’s Working)

Unlike traditional ads that leave you guessing, digital advertising comes with juicy analytics. You’ll know:

How many people saw your ad
Who clicked
Who bought
Where they came from
What time they engaged

No more “spray and pray.” With digital, every click tells a story — and helps you optimize the next move.

💸 4. Budget-Friendly for Small Biz

Big brands may spend millions, but digital ads can work with as little as R50.
That’s less than a takeaway burger. And you can pause, tweak, or boost anytime based on results.

At Twisted T, we’ve helped clients create small, high-impact ad campaigns that convert — without breaking the bank (or needing a billboard on the moon).

🔄 5. Instant Edits, Instant Results

Spotted a typo on a printed flyer? Oof.
Need to update pricing or switch a photo? That’s a reprint.

With digital ads? Fix it in seconds. Swap out headlines. Test two versions. Get real-time feedback.

It’s flexible, fast, and fuss-free — which is exactly how we like our designs around here.

✨ Final Thoughts from Twisted T

Print still has its place — but if you want to reach the right people, at the right time, in a way that actually works, digital is the way forward.

Whether you're launching a new product, promoting a service, or just want to build brand love, digital advertising gives you the tools to show up and shine.

Let’s Make Social Media Human Again: Less Noise, More Meaning

Let’s Make Social Media Human Again: Less Noise, More Meaning

In a world of scrolling, skimming, and double-tapping, it’s easy to forget that behind every post is a person.
And somewhere along the way, we traded connection for performance — and that spark? It dimmed a little.

But here at Twisted T, we believe it’s time to bring the heart back. 💛
To stop screaming for attention and start whispering something worth hearing.

✨The Problem: Social Burnout is Real

We’re all feeling it:

Endless highlight reels
Constant pressure to be “on”
Overly polished feeds with little soul

It’s exhausting. It’s noisy. And honestly?
It’s not what social media was meant to be.

We’ve become obsessed with visibility — even if it comes at the cost of authenticity.

💬 What If Social Media Was Human Again?

Imagine a feed where:

People share real stories, not just strategies.
Posts invite conversation, not just conversions.
Brands talk with people, not at them.

That’s the kind of space we’re creating — one honest, meaningful post at a time.

🧠 Why Human-Centered Social Media Works

Besides being good for your soul (and your sanity), creating more intentional content is also good for your brand.

✅ Builds real relationships with your audience
✅ Encourages deeper engagement (not just likes)
✅ Makes you memorable, not just marketable
✅ Attracts your right people — the ones who get you

When you show up as your true self (or your brand’s soul), people don’t just scroll — they stay.

🌀 The Twisted T Way

At Twisted T, we don’t just make things look pretty — we make them mean something.
Whether it’s a bold brand campaign or a quiet carousel post, our design always starts with the human on the other side of the screen.

We ask:

Who are we talking to?
What do they need today?
How can we add value — not just volume?

Because when we design with intention, we do more than market.
We connect. We inspire. We matter.

🖋 Join the Movement

This isn’t about algorithms. It’s about alignment.
Let’s build a digital world where honesty > hype,
and meaning > marketing fluff.

📣 Are you in?

🧵 Follow along. Start real conversations. Use your voice.

🧠✨ Closure: The Design Trick Your Brain’s Been Falling For Since Forever

Powered by Twisted T – where less is more, and missing pieces are part of the plan.

Okay, let’s get real.

You ever spot a half-drawn shape, a broken line, or a logo that barely even shows up—and your brain just… knows what it is?

That’s closure, baby. Not the emotional kind (though we stan therapy), but the design kind—aka the secret sauce behind how you recognize things without even realizing you’re doing it.

🧩 The Gist of Closure

Here’s how it works:

👉 Your brain hates unfinished business.
So when it sees part of a shape, or a logo missing a chunk, it’s like:
"Don’t worry, I got this."
It auto-fills the blanks like a boss. That’s the Gestalt Principle of Closure in action.

💸 Brands Are Banking on This

Like, literally.

Companies have spent millions crafting logos and visuals that sneak into your subconscious.
They use just enough visual info for you to recognize it instantly—without spelling it out.
It’s sleek. It’s smart. It’s psychological warfare… but make it pretty.

You’ve seen it:
🔹 Apple’s iconic bite.
🔹 FedEx’s sneaky arrow.
🔹 The WWF panda that’s not even fully drawn.
Your brain sees it. Your loyalty feels it. That’s closure doing what it does best.

🎨 Why Twisted T Loves Closure

At Twisted T, we’re not here to overdesign.
We’re here to make visuals that make you feel clever just for looking at them.

Closure lets us:

🎯 Keep designs clean, bold, and scroll-stopping.
🎯 Let your brain do part of the work—because that’s what makes things stick.
🎯 Play with negative space like it’s our favorite toy.

You don’t need a full sketch when one smart line can say it all.

🖥️ It’s Not Just for Logos

In UI design, closure helps users know where to click, what belongs where, and how to move through a layout—even when things are minimal.
In storytelling, music, and branding? Same deal. Your mind wants to connect dots. Closure helps it do just that.

💡 So What’s the Takeaway?

The next time you look at a logo and feel a weird sense of recognition, just know:
👉 That’s not random.
👉 That’s design psychology.
👉 That’s millions of branding dollars playing 4D chess with your subconscious.

And at Twisted T, we’re fluent in that language.

Because great design doesn’t shout.
It whispers to your brain—and lets you fill in the blanks.

Be Better Than the Rest – Set Your Business Apart for the Right Reasons

In a world filled with noise, competition, and templated brands, one truth remains: standing out isn’t about being louder—it’s about being better.

Better at serving people.
Better at delivering value.
Better at building a brand people can actually trust.

Here’s how to raise the bar—and keep it there.

1. Customer Service is Your Secret Weapon

People don’t just buy products—they buy experiences. They remember how you made them feel.
In today’s world, trust is earned through authentic connection and personal service.
Customers are far more likely to support local businesses that feel friendly, helpful, and genuine, rather than faceless mega-stores that treat them like a number.

💡 No two clients are the same—treat each one as an individual, not a transaction.

2. Quality Always Wins

In Afrikaans, we say: “Goedkoop koop is duur koop.”
In other words: cheap now, expensive later.

Create products that are built to last.
Shortcuts may get you quick sales—but long-term trust? That’s earned with craftsmanship, care, and a commitment to excellence. Quality never goes out of style.

3. Let Your Advertising Speak the Truth

An unforgettable advertising campaign can launch your business into the spotlight—but only if it’s built on truth, clarity, and authenticity.

Don’t over-promise. Don’t try to be everything to everyone.
Focus on what you do best—and say it loud and proud.
🎯 Customers connect with real stories, not sales fluff.

4. Brand Like You Mean It

Your brand is more than a logo—it’s your business’s voice, face, and personality.

Make sure it's everywhere:

Branded emails
Social media handles
Company clothing
Product packaging
Show people who they’re doing business with—and why they can trust you.

✨ When your branding is consistent, your credibility grows.

5. Efficiency is a Form of Respect

Your brand deserves to be handled with care and professionalism.
So do your clients.
Respond on time. Deliver as promised. Make the experience smooth and seamless.

When you respect the process, your clients will respect your business.
Efficiency isn’t just logistics—it’s your reputation in motion.

6. Respect Your Competition

There’s no place in good business for pettiness or public shaming.
Your competitors are chasing their version of success—just like you.

Here’s the truth:
💪 You don’t need to tear others down to lift yourself up.

Outshine them with better service.
Outwork them by understanding your clients better.
Outlast them by building something worth coming back to.

Final Thought: Don’t Just Be Different. Be Better.

Better service.
Better branding.
Better attitude.
Better products.

That’s what truly sets you apart.

Where It All Started — And Where I’m Headed

We all talk about our hopes and dreams.

Some of us chase them.
A few of us build them; brick by stubborn brick.

You already know I run a social media marketing agency.
What you may not know is… it’s a one-woman show.

I design. I create. I post. I plan.
From content calendars to Facebook reels, every pixel, caption, and colour choice is made by me—for the amazing clients who choose Twisted T Designs.

But today, I want to share where it all began—and where I dream to go.
And yes, it’s personal.

I didn’t start this business because it was easy. I started it because I was done.

Done being taken for granted.
Done doing the work and not getting paid.
Done pouring energy into someone else’s dream, only to walk away with empty pockets and empty promises.
Done designing ads for R100 and chasing payment like it was a luxury.

I was tired of putting in the effort and watching someone else reap the rewards.

So, I built something of my own.

Owning a business isn’t glamorous. It’s grit.

It’s long nights when everyone else is out.
It’s early mornings, tight budgets, and coffee by the gallon.
It’s saying “no” when you really want to say “yes.”
It’s learning to value your time, your craft, and your worth.

And no—it's not always easy.
But it's mine. And that makes it worth it.

What I Want Isn’t Flashy—It’s Fulfilling.

I don’t want a multi-million rand agency.
I don’t want to chase giant brands or sell out to quick wins.
I want to design.

Simple as that.

Give me logos that tell a story.
Give me ads that stop the scroll.
Give me content that makes people feel something.

I want to open my apps and see Twisted T Designs everywhere—on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube.
Not because I’m everywhere. But because my clients are.

This is where you come in.

To get there, I need you.
I need the brands that are brave enough to grow.
The business owners ready to be seen.
The companies who need real, authentic marketing that doesn’t cut corners.

Twisted T Designs is ready.
Let’s build something that deserves to be seen.

Fonts Have Feelings Too: How to Match Font Personality to Your Brand

Fonts aren't just letters they’re tone, attitude, and vibes. Whether you're designing a logo, a social post, or a pitch deck, the font you choose tells a story before anyone reads a single word.

2. Sans-Serif Fonts (e.g., Helvetica, Montserrat, Open Sans)

💻 Personality: Clean, modern, neutral, tech-forward.
🎯 Best for: Digital-first brands, tech companies, startups, casual elegance.
⚠️ Watch out for sameness—can feel generic without good pairing.

3. Script Fonts (e.g., Pacifico, Great Vibes)

✒️ Personality: Feminine, expressive, romantic, handwritten.
🎯 Best for: Wedding invites, boutique brands, feminine businesses, logos with personality.
⚠️ Use sparingly—bad readability = brand confusion.

🎯 Best for: Headlines, promotions, event posters.
⚠️ Not suitable for long-form text or multiple uses.

Why Your Business Can’t Afford to Ignore Social Media Anymore

By Toni du Plooy

Social media and messaging apps are no longer just places for sharing memes, gossip, or keeping up with friends.
Today, they’re where business happens.

From Facebook and Instagram to WhatsApp and YouTube, these platforms have become digital marketplaces, customer service desks, and brand-building arenas—all in one scroll.

🚀 The Power of Social Media in Numbers

Let’s talk scale:

📱 Over 1.2 billion monthly users are active on Facebook Messenger
💬 Over 2 billion messages are exchanged monthly between people and businesses on Messenger
📞 WhatsApp boasts 1.2 billion active users monthly
🎥 YouTube pulls in 1.5 billion monthly users

With numbers like these, it's clear: your customers are online.
They’re messaging, watching, reacting, and yes—shopping.

💡 Why This Matters for You as a Business Owner

Social media marketing isn’t just a trend. It’s a necessity.

People want to connect with brands where they already spend their time. In fact:

📩 46% of consumers prefer messaging apps over email to contact businesses
📞 49.4% say they’d rather message than call

That means your business has the chance to show up—right in their inbox, timeline, and feed.

🛠️ Social Media Marketing: What It Lets You Do

As a business owner, social media puts powerful tools directly in your hands:

👀 Observe your customers' interests in real-time
👍 Engage with their likes, dislikes, and feedback
🗣️ Start authentic conversations with potential clients
⏱️ Get instant responses to your content, offers, and promotions
🤝 Build relationships, not just sales

It’s not just marketing anymore—it’s community-building.

🎯 Social Media Is the Way Forward

Social media marketing has become one of the most efficient, cost-effective ways to:

Create brand awareness
Build trust and loyalty
Increase engagement
Drive conversions

And the best part? You don’t need a massive budget to compete—just consistency, clarity, and connection.

So, where do your customers hang out?
Probably right where you should be—scrolling their favourite apps, waiting for your brand to show up.

Your Customers Are Already Online – Is Your Business?

Think about your last big purchase.

Did you walk into a store blindly?
Or did you scroll through Facebook, message a business on WhatsApp, watch a YouTube review, or peek at their Instagram page?

You're not alone—and neither are your customers.

👀 We Live in a Scrolling Society

People no longer just find businesses.
They discover them in between coffee breaks, during Netflix episodes, and right before bed.

Here’s what your potential customer is already doing:

Watching “How-To” videos on YouTube
Browsing product photos on Instagram
Sending DMs on Facebook Messenger
Getting real-time support on WhatsApp

They're making buying decisions long before they ever click “Add to Cart.” And they’re doing it online.

💬 People Don’t Want to Be Sold To — They Want to Connect

Today’s customer expects brands to:

Respond quickly
Speak in a relatable voice
Show real, human interaction
Offer easy access through messaging apps

In fact:

📲 Nearly 50% of people would rather message a business than call
💡 46% prefer chatting over emailing
🤳 And most expect you to be where they are—on social platforms

If your business isn’t present or responsive, someone else will be.

📉 What Happens If You’re Not on Social Media?

You may have great products.
Amazing service.
But if your ideal customer can’t see you online, they’ll assume one of two things:

You’re not professional
You don’t exist

Out of sight really is out of mind.

🚀 What Smart Brands Are Doing Right Now

They’re not just posting—they’re:

Starting conversations
Building trust
Making it easy for customers to reach them
Creating content that answers questions before they’re even asked
And showing up consistently in the spaces their audience already loves

🌟 So Ask Yourself: If Your Ideal Client Is Scrolling… Will They Find You?

Because the truth is—your audience isn’t waiting for a billboard or a flyer.

They’re waiting for a post, a reel, a quick message reply.
And if you’re not there?
Someone else will take that space.

🌀 Be the brand they remember.
Start showing up where it matters.

Social Media Marketing: The Modern Megaphone for Small Businesses

By Toni du Plooy

Let’s be honest most (almost all) small businesses don’t have the budget for 60-second TV commercials or full-page magazine ads. The Yellow Pages? A thing of the past. Even word-of-mouth, while still valuable, is no longer enough to keep your brand top of mind especially if your customers forget to share your name.

That’s where social media marketing steps in... its not just as a solution, but as a superpower for modern business growth.

💡 What Is Social Media Marketing, Anyway?

Simply put, it’s the most accessible and effective form of marketing for today’s small business owner. It’s about using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and even TikTok to build awareness, connect with your audience, and turn interest into income.

Social media has replaced the front page, the phone book, and even the product catalog.
Your digital presence is now your first impression and if you're not online, you might not exist in the eyes of your potential customers.

As Bill Gates famously said:

“If your business is not on the internet, then your business will be out of business.”

👥 Who Does Social Media Marketing—and Why Does It Matter?

Social media marketers (like me!) aren’t just posting for the sake of it. We’re here to help your business grow strategically, one post at a time.

Every time someone sees your name, shares your content, or tags a friend in your post—you’re planting a seed. A connection. A potential sale. That’s not magic—it’s strategy.

📊 3 Key Goals of Social Media Marketing

At Twisted T, every campaign is crafted with intention. Here’s how we structure our approach:

1. Awareness

This is about visibility. The goal? Make people know you exist.
We run campaigns that focus on:

Brand awareness
Local reach
Name recognition

You want your audience to say, “Oh yes, I’ve seen them around.”

2. Consideration

Once they know you, it’s time to get them interested.
This phase includes:

Driving traffic to your website
Boosting post engagement
Promoting videos or products
Generating leads via forms and messages

Here, we help potential clients understand what makes you better—and why they should care.

3. Conversion

This is where curiosity turns into action.
We run ads that:

Encourage purchases from your online store
Retarget users who visited your site or interacted with your posts
Guide foot traffic to your physical location

It’s about results. Measurable, trackable, and meaningful.

🗺️ Think of It Like This…

Your website is your online storefront.
But without a map, how will anyone find it?

Social media marketing is your GPS—guiding potential clients right to your digital doorstep. The more visible your brand, the more traffic you drive, the more trust you build, and the more customers you gain.

🎯 Final Thought: You Don’t Have to Go Viral—You Just Have to Show Up Consistently

Whether you’re a hairdresser, a café owner, a fitness coach, or a boutique brand—social media gives you a direct line to the people who need what you offer.

You don’t need to shout the loudest. You just need to show up, stay present, and speak clearly.
And if you don’t have time for all that?

That’s where Twisted T Designs comes in.
We handle the posts, the campaigns, the hashtags, and the heart behind your brand—so you can focus on the business you love.

Let’s grow together. One post at a time.

🎨 Color Me Sold: What Your Brand's Palette Really Says

Spilled by Twisted T — where every hue has attitude.

Colors aren’t just pretty—they speak.
Loudly. Quietly. Subtly. Seductively.
And every smart brand out there knows: choosing the right color isn’t a vibe… it’s a strategy.

So let’s spill the (rainbow) tea on what colors really do—and why the big dogs use them to get inside your head (and your wallet).

🔴 Red: The Alpha Vibe

Red walks in and owns the room. It’s loud, it’s bold, it says “Look. At. Me.” That’s why it’s everywhere in marketing—from sales tags to fast food to urgent buttons.
Use with confidence. Use with caution. Too much and you’ll feel like you’re being screamed at.

🔵 Blue: The Trust Fund Baby

Cool. Calm. Collected.
Blue is the guy who brings a deck to a beach party and still gets invited back. People trust blue. Banks love it. Tech companies lean on it. Pair it with a warm accent and you’ve got instant “We got you” energy.

💖 Pink: The Pop Princess

Fun. Flirty. Full-on fabulous.
Pink plays to the youthful, feminine crowd—but don’t box it in. From bubblegum to neon magenta, pink is marketing sugar with a punch. Want to win hearts (and hearts on Instagram)? Pink’s your girl.

💛 Yellow: The Risky Business

Yellow is like caffeine in color form. Bright. Bold. Unapologetic.
Use it to grab attention and shout confidence—but careful: too much and it turns from sunshine to warning sign. Balance is key unless you’re selling construction equipment or energy drinks.

💚 Green: The Triple Threat

✔️ Nature.
✔️ Nurture.
✔️ Cha-ching.
Green’s got versatility down. It’s calm, fresh, earthy—and rich. Great for health brands, eco lines, or anyone who wants to whisper “luxury” while looking chill.

💜 Purple: The Regal Realness

Purple pulls up in velvet and doesn’t need to introduce itself. It’s luxury, mystique, and a little bit of drama all rolled into one.
Use it when you want to add elegance, prestige, or a wink of fantasy to your vibe.

🟡✨ Gold: The High Roller

Gold is where elegance meets flex.
Paired with green or purple? That’s royalty in logo form. It screams prestige, power, and old money—but in the best way. Just don’t go full bling unless you’re selling watches or private jets.

🟠 Orange: The Fun Hustler

Orange is energy in a hoodie. It’s friendly, modern, and just a little rebellious.
Use it to say “We’re cool, but we mean business.” Think of it as the Gen Z of brand colors—no chill, but all charm.

🤎 Brown: The Cozy Classic

Underrated? Totally.
Brown is warm, grounded, and quietly confident. It’s for brands that want to wrap you in a weighted blanket and hand you a cup of artisanal coffee. Rustic, reliable, relaxing.

⚫ Black: The Mood Swinger

Black is a shape-shifter.
It can go high fashion or minimalist tech, luxury or edgy underground. It’s the contrast king, and when used right? It’s dramatic AF. Every color pops harder when black is around.

🎯 Real Talk: Big Brands Already Know This

You think McDonald’s chose red and yellow because they like ketchup and mustard?
Nah, fam. They did it because those colors move product.

Colors aren’t random. They’re calculated.
So if you’re building a brand, crafting a post, or creating packaging—your palette is your power move.

At Twisted T, we don’t pick colors that look nice.
We pick colors that sell.

💥 Want help finding your brand's color personality?
Slide into our DMs. We’ll find your hue, your mood, and your visual voice.

Because great design doesn’t just catch the eye—
It sticks in your head (and your cart).
