10 Visual Choices That Make a Difference

By Coral – Creative Director at EBODA.digital

Whether you’re a designer, business owner, or just someone who wants their brand to look good and do good, these 10 design choices will help you infuse your visual identity with purpose—without sacrificing beauty.

1. 🎯 Prioritize Purposeful Color Palettes

Choose colors that are emotionally aligned and readable across devices and lighting conditions. Avoid overly saturated neons that strain the eye or create high screen energy usage.

Bonus: Use colors that align with nature—seafoam, clay, leaf green, stone gray—for visual resonance and thematic impact.

2. 📦 Compress & Optimize Assets

Large images = more data = more energy consumed per load. Use compressed files for web, limit auto-play video, and scale down massive PDFs.

Tool Tip: Use TinyPNG or Squoosh to shrink file sizes without losing beauty.

3. 🌐 Use Web-Safe, Readable Fonts

Skip custom font overload (each font adds load time). Stick to 2–3 consistent, easy-to-read fonts.

Pro Tip: Host fonts locally or via trusted CDNs instead of pulling from multiple font libraries.

4. 🧠 Design for Clarity Over Complexity

Minimalist design isn’t just a trend—it’s a sustainability win. The fewer layers, effects, and dynamic assets, the cleaner the code and lower the footprint.

5. 🖥️ Dark Mode–Friendly Color Schemes

Dark mode uses less energy on OLED screens. Offer visual assets that work in both light and dark themes for inclusivity and eco-smart UX.

6. 🌿 Avoid Visual Noise

Use fewer flashing gifs, excessive animations, or autoplay carousels. These create distraction and consume unnecessary energy—especially on mobile.

7. ♻️ Use Reusable Templates with Purpose

Design templates that last. Reduce the need to rebuild from scratch for every campaign. A good template is sustainable creativity in action.

8. 📸 Choose Authentic, Earth-Aligned Imagery

Use visuals that reflect eco-values: nature scenes, sustainable lifestyle choices, and real people doing meaningful things. Stock photos that scream “fake boardroom” just don’t cut it anymore.

9. 🐬 Tell Stories of Impact Visually

Use infographics, charts, and illustrated timelines to show your brand’s eco-choices. When data becomes design, it inspires action.

10. 🌊 Align Your Brand with Environmental Partners

Show your audience you walk the walk. Use your platform to elevate nonprofit partners, donate ad space, or share ocean- and earth-positive campaigns.

🐚 Final Coral Thought:

“Design isn’t neutral. Every color, layout, and click has impact. Let yours ripple with purpose.”
