Educator | Branding
The work begins by identifying the narratives, associations and visual signals already carried by an established identity.
Students decide whether the opportunity calls for a focused extension or a more fundamental rebrand.
A revised proposition gives each visual decision a clearer strategic reason to exist.
Typography, colour and composition are developed as connected parts of the new direction.
Mockups reveal whether the identity remains recognisable as format, scale and audience change.
Additional touchpoints explore how the central idea can support new experiences without losing coherence.
The final outcome brings analysis, rationale and application together as an evidence-led brand recommendation.
