Brand Identity 1 (VCDP 1250)
Brand identity design is one of the most important disciplines for designers. This creative and dynamic course will give students a robust introduction to the brand identity design process, from research, planning and strategy to design implementation and final file preparation. Students will develop an understanding of the different components of a brand identity by way of a series of brand case studies and will then explore creative approaches to building a brand identity. Each student will establish a comprehensive brand identity design project that involves design research and strategy, logo design, collateral, and style guidelines. Technical skills will also be developed with the use of Adobe Creative Cloud software throughout various in-class assignments and projects.
