August Topic: Make Your Mark. A Lesson In Identity Design.
In many instances, your logo is the first thing that a potential customer will see. It’s more than a logo though– this is your visual identity.
What makes a great visual identity, and how do you design one?
Congratulations! You’ve got a great idea for a business. You’ve done your homework. You know your audience. You’ve built a compelling brand story. Your brand message is on point, and you’ve even got a clever name. Is it time to develop your visual identity?
From a blank page to a full identity system.
In this 1-hour hands-on workshop, you’ll:
Learn when and how to build a strong visual identity system.
Follow-along, step by step, as Rodrigo shares real-world examples of a) building an identity from scratch and b) a redesign and brand transformation.
Learn how to be resourceful, and distinguish the “need to haves” versus the “nice to haves”.
Gain insights from an identity design expert.
Your work is too important to go unnoticed. After this workshop, you'll leave with:
A deeper understanding of strong, timeless identity systems.
An understanding of what common mistakes to avoid in your process.
Proven exercises that you can replicate.
A list of resources and tools that will help elevate your design work.
Captivate your dream customer and flourish in the work you love.
