Nike doesn’t sell shoes. It sells ambition, drive, and greatness. ‘Just Do It’ isn’t about sneakers—it’s about identity. The best brands don’t market products; they market how you feel wearing them. #design #marketing #psychology

Why does $9.99 feel cheaper than $10.00? Because our brains process prices from left to right. Seeing the ‘9’ makes it feel like a bargain, even though the difference is just a penny. Marketing is mind games. #design #marketing #psychology

People Like You Bought This’ isn’t just a feature—it’s persuasion psychology. We trust what others choose, especially if they’re like us. The more people buy, the more we want it. Social proof sells. #design #marketing #psychology

Coca-Cola hasn’t changed its logo in 100+ years. Why? Branding consistency. When people see the same design over time, trust builds. Consistency = familiarity = loyalty. That’s how a brand becomes timeless. #design #marketing #psychology

Why does premium packaging make a product feel better? The Halo Effect. Our brains assume that if something looks high-quality, it is high-quality. It’s why Apple’s unboxing experience feels like magic. #design #marketing #psychology

Amazon’s subtle tricks to make you spend more:
✔️ Free shipping over $35 (so you add more)
✔️ ‘People also bought’ (upselling done right)
✔️ 1-click checkout (frictionless = impulsive)
✔️ Fake discounts (MSRP is a mind game)
Now you know. Will it stop you? #design #marketing #psychology

‘Only 3 left in stock.’ ‘Limited-time offer.’ ‘Last chance!’ Urgency hijacks your brain’s fear of missing out, making you buy instantly. Scarcity isn’t just a marketing tactic—it’s human psychology at work. #design #marketing #psychology

Ever signed up for a free trial and then kept paying? That’s the endowment effect—once we ‘own’ something, we hate losing it. Free trials don’t just give you access; they make you feel like it’s already yours. #design #marketing #psychology

People remember stories 22x more than facts. Why? Because stories engage emotions, create context, and make ideas stick. If you're selling, teaching, or persuading—tell a story, not just stats! #design #marketing #psychology

People are twice as motivated to avoid a loss than to gain something new.

That’s why ‘Don’t miss out’ works better than ‘Get this now.’ Loss aversion isn’t just psychology—it’s marketing gold. #design #marketing #psychology

Hot take! I don't think the Jaguar rebranding is as bad as everyone says. The concept car is garbage, though. #branding #design #jaguar

People hesitate to act when they’re unsure of the impact. This is action paralysis.

🚫 “Sign up now” → Feels empty
✅ “overcome procrastination” → Feels impactful

Always answer: Why should they care? That’s how you drive action. #design #psychology #marketing

A button is just a button, right?

The science is clear: Studies show that a red button can get up to 30% more clicks than a green one.

Why do you think that is?

As a designer, you need to be able to showcase your work in the best possible way.

Mockups are a lifesaver for that! My top choice for free mockups is minimalmockups.com.

Whats yours?
