Design Battle Plan: 601 The Designer In Question
Objective:
Convince Designer 601 to use Comic Sans in the new brochure design.
Pre-Meeting Preparation:
1. Gather all known data on the target audience's font preferences.
2. Create a PowerPoint presentation with 17 slides of varying degrees of desperation.
3. Practice your 'I'm right, you're wrong' face in the mirror.
Meeting Strategy:
1. Start with the 'it's a classic' approach.
2. Transition to the 'it's retro-chic' phase.
3. Finish with the 'I've got a great idea, let's just use it' coup de grĂ¢ce.
Post-Meeting Protocol:
1. Send a follow-up email to Designer 601 with a link to a fake research paper titled 'The Benefits of Comic Sans in Marketing Materials'.
2. Schedule a 'just one more meeting' for the next day, because why not?
