In the pen-ultimate week of the semester it started off with coming up with ideas for designing a landing page for my brand.
To generate the ideas i was handed a load of sticky notes and i was asked to place them in divisions for primary, secondary and tertiary, them being the order in which they should feature on the web-page.
Above you can see each of the categories i came up with that i think are relevant enough to be displayed in the web-page.
We also spent the afternoon discussing are personal brands, creating my own brand is a really important step that i need to take in my career as a designer. If i want to be recognised or even considered i’m going to need to have my own brand and my own portfolio.
These are necessary to help me get my placement job and also a job for whenever i graduate, i am confident in my own ability with design to be able to do some free-lance design work for people.
Listening to all of the steps that it takes to create your own brand wasn’t exactly surprising as we have been going through these steps with creating this bank brand. So it is good to know that i am already capable of creating a certain word-mark or logo aswell as finding the right colour and typography for my own brand.
I thought todays class was very interesting, mainly because of the talk we had about the personal branding. I was always aware of how much having your own brand would help you within the industry but it was nice to be refreshed on all the details that going in-to making it.
