    This was a great video. i followed along creating my own Brand Guidelines as I listened to your concise and informative talk about this important topic. In a way, the Brand Guidelines acts much like the the Business Plan's Executive Summary, in which the business outlines what it is and what it's about. This is even more crucial since in today's globalized web based business world, you don't need the executive summary from back in the day, because a business plan is mostly used to get funding. The Branding Guidelines helps us focus on our visual presence, which tells way more than the words, and speaking for me I had to focus my energy on what my brand will be about, which kept me from being too divergent, while also keeping in mind the multiple stream of income approach also crucial to success. Thank you so much for this. I'm glad I saw your video before my launch and not after.

      actually I am also studying branding from a design school and they didn’t teach us anything about creating brand guidelines and yet expecting us to come up with guidelines for our imaginary brand. I have been searching for videos or guides about how to actually create brand guidelines and what all should be included in it but can’t find a single video which explains properly, all they show is what they have done for their brands.

    • @edwardwhite_al
      @edwardwhite_al  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for watching and subscribing! Yes certainly - I think with anything you do creating a brand guidelines for it would be really effective. Essentially it would be similar to that of the personal brand with the added element of video structure and tone of voice. I might make a video about this at some point thank you for the ideas!

      Hey, so I use a mixture of Photoshop (for the mocks etc.) then put it all together in InDesign.
      I hope that this helps.

    great to see this today as Im putting together updated company brand guide - i like the layout of your doc looks like 5:4 landscape - i have the idea to layout like this instead of the current A4 of the original company guidelines - is there a template of this or recommend any approach in setting it up for PDF and print as i like the idea of a small printed booklet to compliment the pdf

    • @edwardwhite_al
      @edwardwhite_al  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Glad you enjoyed the video, it's a landscape A4 document and was set up using InDesign. The best bet is to use InDesign to set this all up (based on the printers requirements which they will give you) give me a shout if you have anny other questions and good luck with the brand guide!

    Are there brand guidelines for issues like pricing and bundling. For instance, if you have a specialist brand and do not want retailers to devalue it by selling it cheaply or bundling it with unsuitable products, in what document or format should you present these details?

    • @edwardwhite_al
      @edwardwhite_al  Před 2 lety

      It doesn't sound like you would be 'brand guidelines' it sounds more like it would be a wholesale contract, where you outline the price you wish retailers to sell your products at and any deviation from that will need to be requested...
      The brand guidelines will then come into this if they are using your brand as part of their marketing.
