An effective branding project must focus on both the design as well as the initial investigation to the ideation and conceptualization. Alejandro Flores—founder and creative director of the design studio Human—focuses on creating memorable brand identities that go beyond the simple idea of creating a “pretty logo”, but rather a strategic solution to the challenges a brand faces.
In this course, you’ll learn how to conceptualize and plan your branding projects to give them more objective and functional values, using Human’s methodology.

Start by getting to know Alejandro, his career and most significant projects. Discover some of his direct and indirect sources of inspiration in design.
Whether it’s a personal branding project, or one for the food industry, personal care, packaging, or other, you’ll start by working on the conceptualization to create your branding strategy, generating value to the client’s brand and relatability to its users and potential audience.
First, start by collecting information using your client’s brief, looking for references that may help develop your project. Review some of Alejandro’s personal references to inspire you with your project.
Then, define the key words you need to start building your concepts to develop your brand.
See which concepts best fit your project’s end-goal, working on graphic elements such as the logo, color palette, use of images, typographies, and applications to establish your concept and graphic outcome for the project.
Finalize the course by giving the final touches to your project and create the mock-ups of your designs to present to your client.
