This course takes a design perspective on branding and identity. It centres on the creation of a brand tailored to the specificities of each student’s practice and professional aspirations. Students gain applied understanding through a process of research, analysis, design and production of a suite of brand collateral including items such as folio (website, sampler, book, eBook), poster, flyer, postcard, video, interactive media and packaging. The forms to be produced are not dictated and will be determined by each student's aims and expertise. While practical in focus, the course asks students to think critically about the concepts, values and techniques underpinning contemporary conceptions of branding. The course will be particularly relevant to final year students contemplating their future employment prospects, those wanting to market their particular skills and knowledge, or those intending to launch a business or start-up venture.
