About This Course

This practical course teaches you how to design a complete brand identity from first research to final launch. You will learn how to interview a business and its customers, turn findings into a positioning statement and design brief, choose a strong name, and design a versatile logo with free tools. You will then build an accessible colour palette and typography system, design labels, packaging, stationery, signage and social media templates, and document everything in a usable brand style guide.

Every lesson includes real-world and illustrative case studies (including Gap, Airbnb, Tropicana, Mastercard and Mailchimp, alongside Malawian small business examples) and a hands-on exercise. The course ends with a capstone project in which you build a complete brand, and an end-of-course quiz.
