Objective: define your personal brand and its visual identity through the design of a logo, color story, business card, resume, letterhead, and other collateral design mockups.
Created for: FASM 210 - Digital Presentation Techniques
Aesthetic Mood Board
To start this project, I created a mood board to express my personal design aesthetic. This allowed me to examine colors and graphic elements I wanted to include in my branding.
Design Inspiration & Research
I created a concept board based off of research on brand identity suites. This allowed me to clarify my vision for my personal branding. I knew I wanted clean, minimalistic typography and a sense of spontaneity through the color palette.
Color Story
I proceeded by creating a color story for my branding suite. I chose a mix of pastels and bold colors to express a softness and unexpectedness.
Key Words
I brainstormed Key Words that were meaningful to my identity and who I am as a designer. This helped me define the core essence of my creative agenda.
Brand Concept Statement
This expresses my relationship to fashion and why I am drawn to the industry. The statement helped inform how I wanted to present myself professionally to the world.
Typeface Hierarchy
I laid out different typeface combinations and how they would systematically be used throughout my branding suite.
Initial Logo Sketches
To come up with my personal logo, I did various sketches, playing around with my initials and full name.
Final Primary Logo Designs
I settled on some final logo designs, including two different colorways. I felt these were minimalistic with whimsical color combinations.
