Brand Identity + Promotion
I love a good logo. The process of distilling a complex message into a singular visual identity is a delightful challenge. But brand design is of course about more than just logo design. It is an ever-expanding universe of emerging technologies, brand activations, and platforms for audience engagement. Student designers must remain tapped in to the world around them and promote brands accordingly.
