In this class I wanted to try something a little different; a virtual Design ‘Ride Along’, where I walk you through an entire real world brand identity design project. Not an invented project for your portfolio; but a real living, breathing brand.

What will likely make this class different to others like it, is the level and scope I work at. I’m a one-man studio, enjoying working with Small-Mid size or Boutique clients. We’re not talking Agency level projects involving a team of designers here. If you work at, or are hoping to work at the same scale, I think you’ll find this very valuable.
Even though I’ve shared a number of classes detailing my design process; I think it will be valuable to provide you a behind the scenes, realistic look through the entire process; from start to finish, for a real world client and all the interactions and decisions made along the way.
If you’re new to brand identity design, or considering a career specialising in it; this is going to be like virtual work experience!
If you’re further along, or even advanced in identity design – I’m sure just like me, you love comparing your own process to other designers. It’s one of the best ways to pick up new tips and refine what you’re doing.
The class project depends on the stage you’re at:
– If you’re hoping to begin a career as a Brand Identity Designer in future; take notes as you watch the process, and treat this as virtual ‘work experience’! Try to answer these questions;
Which skills do you need to learn / improve to offer brand identity designer to clients?
What parts of the process do you feel most confident about?
What parts of the process would you like to improve / work on?
– If you’re already a Brand Identity Designer, please take notes and answer the following;
Which tips or processes shown in the class could speed up or improve your workflow?
How would you have approached the same project? Note any points of difference at each stage.
Are there any suggestions you’d offer to further improve the processes shown? (Please write a comment in the discussion section!)
