What this is

Brand Design for Creators helps independent creatives and small creative businesses build a visual identity that feels like them and works everywhere they show up. You will start with positioning and personality, then design a simple logo system, choose colours and typefaces, create reusable templates and finish with a one-page brand guide.

The course focuses on clear thinking and practical design decisions rather than software tricks. You can follow along with any free design tool, and every lesson ends with an exercise that adds a real piece to your brand kit.

What you will be able to do

  • Describe your creative brand in a clear positioning statement and three personality words
  • Design a simple logo system with primary, secondary and icon versions
  • Choose a colour palette and type pairing that work together and stay legible
  • Create consistent templates for social posts, documents and presentations
  • Write a one-page brand guide you can follow or hand to collaborators
