The next stage is all about the strategy and the meaning behind your brand. We will dive into discovering exactly who your target audience is and what we need to create with your branding to make sure it appeals directly to them, developing your messaging and identity.

feedback
At various stages of the design process, I will be asking you for feedback regarding the concepts I've sent you. Here are a couple of tips that will be really helpful when providing your feedback to ensure that we end up with a result you absolutely love!
BE HONEST
The aim of our time together is to create a brand that you truly love. If there are any aspects of designs that I send over that you're not happy with and want to change, please let me know. Sometimes, the tiniest changes can cause a huge impact in how you feel about a design.
BE SPECIFIC
The more specific and detailed you are in your feedback, the easier it is for more to make the changes you're looking for. I understand that sometimes it's hard to put down in words exactly what doesn't feel quite right about a design so feel free to be as visual as possible with your feedback.
OFFER SUGGESTIONS
If you have an idea of how you'd like an element of the design to look, please let me know. This is a collaborative process and I am always happy to hear of ideas you have and try something new.
social media
As part of my process, I like to share small snippets of work I'm in the process of creating on my social media accounts as well as part of my email marketing.
This helps me show real-time examples of my work and gives an insight into my design process. If you are not happy to have small portions of your project shown, please let me know beforehand.
Before we get started on your project, there are a few exploration tasks I'd love you to complete. These will give me a great starting point about what you're looking for from your dream brand. Please let me know if you have any questions about these tasks.
