So What Is LinkFinite?

What Is The Main Problem?

LinkFinite solves a key issue that is also quite personal to myself. I have always wanted to become an author of a book series myself, but even with mediums like the internet making revolutionary strides in terms of marketing your work in an independent format, many authors still fall through the cracks. Many authors that don't work for a publishing format don't know how to make use of all the tools at their disposal, and are stuck with trying to promote their material by themselves. Many don't know how to design, code, properly advertise their work, or even who their main audience is.

How Does A Beginner Author Prepare For The Industry In A Way That Gains Them A Reliable Consumer?

This Is Where LinkFinite Comes In

Examples Of LinkFinite Websites

LinkFinite serves as a dream combination of ideas that lost, potential and fledgling authors such as myself would love to have. Even if you are publishing independently, you are not working alone by partnering with this company.

LinkFinite serves to “link” new and/or inexperienced authors with their potential audience by providing them a chance to collaborate with multiple expert designers to create a branding platform for themselves. Our company works to create individual websites, social media platforms, newsletters, and ideas for giveaway campaigns. Each and every campaign is tailored to the individuals’ own unique tastes and personality, reflecting who they are as a person as well as the way in which they want to portray their body of work.

We Help Inexperienced Authors Design Platforms Both Digital And Physical In Order To Help Them Grow In The Publishing World And Gain Attention.

LinkFinite works together directly with its clients in order to create the brand that is geared towards them, helping them in areas of design that they are not as familiar with, while also optimizing it in a format that is easy to understand for potential viewers looking into their content.

Examples of the work that LinkFinite provides aside from just websites. (From top down): giveaways, social media profiles and email newsletter blasts, and a full-blown convention table.

Research Statistics: The Audience

All Research data can be attributed to these sources

Research Statistics: Related To Us

All research was done with the intention of what current authors are feeling, as well as current statistical facts from the past 2 years. Then I tried to apply these facts in a way that could help to benefit my project and serve to educate potential clients of what they should be looking out for when they start using LinkFinite's services. All of this while also trying to make my service the best that it could, adressing and solving these important issues.

LinkFinite's Branding

The Consistency Of The Visuals

LinkFinite's visual branding is designed to be modern and contrasting. Structured in its design that proves that it knows what it is doing for the field, hence the shapes consisting of 4 points. This further connects to the theme of the "points" of communication. That being LinkFinite's goal of helping its clients learn and achieve in their careers.

The Final Logo

The Logo

LinkFinite's Logo consists of the words "Link" and "Infinity" combined together that is meant to represent the companies business practice of helping their clients to "link" them to their target audience in a visually effective manner while simultaneously keeping them involved in their life's work.

Final Color Palette

The Colors

For the colors, LinkFinite has a combination of dark purple and lime green, this color combination proves to be quite powerful as they are secondary colors on the wheel that contrast each other well. They are sharp and stand out considerably, which servesto resonate with our brand motto of helping others tos tand out.

Final Typography

Typography

The typography was chosen with the intention similar to the branding colors and logo, strong and contrasting, while also being easy to read across a variety of platforms, both physical and digital.

The Stationery

The stationery was actually the first piece of project that solidified the branding visuals of using shapes using four points throughout the rest of the brand project, including the website and advertising. Although here, the shapes are more organized due to the layout.

A closer look at the business card. It goes in a vastly different direction than most typical card designs by being in the shape of a laptop that can open and close, a nod to what the business is known for.

Sharp, Contrasting, Modern. This Is What LinkFinite Strives To Achieve In Its Branding.

The Website
