Initial Concepts
During our initial research, we will create an ‘ideas wall’ that shows competitor and peer communications, inspiration and potential visual direction. (see image left for a close up).
We explore imagery, typography, colour and graphic language to show how these elements can be combined into a distinct look and feel, ensuring alignment with modern branding design guidelines.
This initial stage of branding is about the bigger picture no design will occur here. It is important for setting the brand tone and style, using visual references before the next phase of the brand guidelines design.
