HOW I DESIGN A LOGO

Case Study for Glow Consultancy

BRIEF

I take an in-depth brief to define objectives, where we discuss my clients business, target audience, competitors, their likes and dislikes, colours, fonts and what they hoped this branding exercise would  achieve for their business

DESIGN

Start the creative process via strategic thinking, research and brain storming as many ideas as possible, usually via simple pencil doodles. Here the knowledge gained about your company is infused with my own expertise, intuition and influences

Then I work up my favourite ideas, whittle them down and refine a few until I have a set of solid design solutions I am proud to present
