What is a brand? This course will examine the basic principles of corporate identity and develop a clear understanding of how to design brands. Emphasis will be placed on the steps needed for a consistent brand, such as identifying a company's personality; designing a logo; creating the visual elements that support the new brand; and developing and designing its visual voice for multiple uses, including print and packaging. Students will complete design projects that explore a range of applications through exercises, group critiques, research and presentations.
NOTE: All students with an active registration in this course will be given free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud. This section of DSC-2243 is held on campus at SVA.
