Even though each project is unique, my brand design process remains the same. I design everything with intention and purpose. Using video calls I present in real-time. Keeping you in the loop the whole way through by presenting my designs to you at each step.
A graphic designer’s work often seems like it happens ‘behind the scenes… So I thought I’d give you a peek behind the curtain when it comes to my brand design process.
Ever wonder what goes into branding a business? This blog post details EXACTLY how I go about designing my clients’ businesses!
Your business is your baby, and if you decide to trust me with your branding it’s not something I take lightly. I pride myself on making design easy to understand & fun for my clients!
This brand design process has 6 steps that make it run smoothly. So, what are the details?
Let me break it down for you!
1. Consultation & Onboarding
First, we’ll schedule a quick 1:1 consultation to ensure we’re the right fit and discuss your project goals and deadlines. If we agree to proceed, I will create a customized proposal and agreement tailored to your specific needs. After receiving a deposit, you’ll receive a creative brief questionnaire to provide me with all the necessary information before starting the work.
2. Brand Discovery Call
A branding discovery call allows us to dive deep into who you are as a brand, and ensure that we’re on the same page when talking about your business & who you serve. In a google meet, we’ll define your brand positioning and core values, and then explore your target audience in greater detail. This meeting will help to cement who you are as a brand & what the best approach for your branding will be.
3. Design
The design process begins (aka my favorite part). I begin designing your brand foundation using the information discovered when we defined your business as a brand. I’ll present 3 mood-board options to help define the creative direction moving forward. Once you have chosen the mood board that represents your business best, I will begin designing your various logos (primary logo, secondary logo, submark & favicon), along with your brand’s color palette, font selection, graphics & any patterns or textures.
4. Show & Tell
I’ll present you with a complete brand presentation, where you get to see a fully developed concept of your brand! This is one of the most exciting parts, as you will get to see what your brand looks like using real-world mockup examples. After the presentation, I’ll send over the full PDF for review and approval.
5. Fine-tuning
This is where things truly take off! First, I’ll tackle any necessary revisions or adjustments to the branding. Then, I’ll start designing any project-related things like your website, any packaging materials, &/or marketing collateral. Once complete, we will have one final Google Meet to present your brand with all the included materials as a whole.
6. Launch
The final step! Here, I send over all your logo files with a complete branding style guide to boot. Any files needed for any marketing and/or packaging materials will also be included. On top of that – I’m more than happy to assist with getting any project-related materials printed and shipped to you.
And that’s a wrap! This 6-step process helps the whole project stay on track because:
- You’ll always be able to see where we are in the branding design process through the timeline I create for you
- We’ll have plenty of opportunities for open communication and feedback
- You’ll never be left wondering what’s next
