Renewable energy is one of — along with genomics and artificial intelligence — the current exciting fields, and wave of the future that will have a positive impact on humanity on a grand scale . As such, anything we do that Is related to those pursuits excites us. Which is why a custom presentation folder project we completed for Powur piqued our interest.

Aside from from being a revolutionary solar company and online platform, the other factor that caught our attention is the look of their folders which perfectly applied fundamental design principles. We were so impressed that we included it in our blog about how to design folders.

Our Takeaway

Amidst the decades-long pronouncements and prognostications that all forms of communication will, by now, be mostly digital, Powur’s use of presentation folders is proof that some things are still better in analog. Indeed, as a medium, printed items connect better with our brains, thereby making it easier for your recipients to absorb, accept, and recall your message.
