Overview When creating a brand identity package, there are some basic design decisions you will need to make. This includes choosing a color palette, determining typography specifications, creating a logo, and so on. These are the components of your brand that you will use consistently across all of your business collateral, including blog posts, business cards, presentations, promotional material, and so on. The design decisions you make when creating your brand identity package should be influenced by your design aesthetics or style. Another important component of your personal brand identity is the mission statement, which provides a snapshot of your skills and experience. Drafting a mission statement often begins with identifying the qualities or adjectives that best describe your brand. These qualities or adjectives can also help you make specific choices for the brand’s look and feel. In this activity, you will create a style tile to determine the components that you will use in your personal brand identity package. The style tile should specify design elements, such as colors and fonts, that will work together to reflect a cohesive brand style. This activity will help you complete Project Two in Module Seven. You will apply the elements you create in this activity to your portfolio website in the project.
