  • How to define your brand style in 3 parts: Part 3 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you've been following along with the brand style series this week, you should have your brand aesthetic and colors nailed down, but there is one more thing to define for a well-rounded style: the fonts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (If you missed day 1 and 2 go back and check it out) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just like your colors, you want to establish a set of fonts for your brand to keep things consistent and build brand recognition. And just like colors, fonts can also say a lot about your brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The typography you use on your site and in your marketing will make an impact on your audience and you want to make sure they are accurately representing you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I typically recommend using a pairing of 1 serif, 1 sans serif, and 1 script or handwritten font for accent. But try to stick to 2-3 styles across your brand to keep it consistent and clean. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today's challenge is to establish your brand fonts. Go back to Canva and use their options to choose 2-3 fonts that pair well with your aesthetic and colors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you're done, DM me with a screenshot so I can see how it all comes together! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now you've got a fully developed brand style! But what's next? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Come back tomorrow because I've got an incredible FREE resource that will help you put this into action. #womeninbusiness #smallbusinessconsultant #learndigitalmarketing #herestothecreatives #wildlysuccessfulwidelyknown #brandingforcreatives #digitalbranding #businessbydesign #femalebusinessowner #brandingsolutions #creativebusiness #brandingstrategist #educateandempower #goaldiggermovement #strategicbranding #creativeentrepeneur #websitestrategy #onlinepersonalbranding #onlinebrandstrategist #smallbusinessstrategist #brandidentitydesigner #creativebizowner #brandingstudio #buildabetterbrand #freelancetofreedom #brandingideas #onlinepersonalbrand #businesswithintention #brandmessaging

  • How to define your brand style in 3 parts: Part 2 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yesterday we talked about the first step in defining your brand style - the aesthetic. (If you missed it go back and do that first) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After you know what the overall vibe of your brand is, you can set your color palette based on that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Color can play a huge part in emotions and buying. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is a reason why people prefer certain colors over others. This preference says volumes about our personalities because each color has an association with a reaction our brain has when we internalize it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some colors give us a sense of serenity and calm while others make us feel more energetic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When choosing what colors to use for your brand, you want to stick to using 1-2 main colors 1-2 accent colors, and 1-2 neutral colors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This will give you a well-rounded palette with different options for different uses when executing your brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your challenge for today is to pick your brand colors! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can use your mood board as a starting point, and hop into Canva to select the perfect set of colors for your brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you're done, DM me with a screenshot of the colors so I can see. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And be sure to come back tomorrow for day 3 of the challenge where we will round out your brand style with fonts. #brandstrategy #brandstrategist #brandingdesign #designisinthedetails #branddesigner #brandstylist #brandstrategytips #brandstrategydesign #branddesign #buildabetterbrand #businessfoundation #brandtraining #onlinebrand #onlinepersonalbrand #onlinebranding #brandmessaging #brandmessagingstrategy

  • How to define your brand style in 3 parts: Part 1 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yesterday I introduced you to the idea of defining your brand style with 3 key components. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today we're going to cover the first one, the aesthetic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your brand aesthetic is how your brand visually communicates with people. It’s the overall vibe and feeling that your brand evokes from someone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The best way to define the aesthetic of your brand is by putting together mood board for inspiration to visually establish the overall feeling of your brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can also pair that with a list of brand words that help describe the feeling of your brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the end you’ll end up with a clear and consistent aesthetic for your brand that you’ll build on in the next step, the colors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your challenge for today is to go to Pinterest and create a mood board for your brand. Already got one? Update it with fresh images to make sure your brand is staying aligned. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once you're done, DM me with the link so I can check it out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And be sure to come back tomorrow for my best tips on picking your brand colors. #brandstrategy #brandstrategist #brandingdesign #designisinthedetails #branddesigner #brandstylist #brandstrategytips #brandstrategydesign #branddesign #buildabetterbrand #businessfoundation #brandtraining #onlinebrand #onlinepersonalbrand #onlinebranding #brandmessaging #brandmessagingstrategy

  • Define your brand style: a 3-day series ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your brand leaves an impression on your audience long after you've connected with them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your brand style and identity are a huge part of how you shape that impression. It’s how you present your brand to them so that they understand what you do and how you can serve them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Simply stated, your brand’s outward appearance gives others an idea of what they can expect from us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But in this case, I’m not talking about the design of your brand, just the style. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your style is part of your brand identity design, but your identity as a whole also encompasses the design of specific elements like your logos. So when we are talking about defining your brand style, I am just referring to the overarching style of your brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The way that you define that is with these 3 main components: the aesthetic, the colors, and the fonts. Finding the right combination of these things can make a huge difference in the way your brand is presented and perceived. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over the next 3 days we are diving into a mini-series and challenge to define your brand style. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Following along here on IG this week to learn about the key elements of a brand style and how to define yours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ By the end of the week, you'll have a clearly defined and cohesive brand strategy to call your own! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Comment below with a 🎉 if you're joining! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ See you tomorrow! #lessworkmorelife #brandgrowth #smallbizmarketing #businesstipsforwomen #thisgirlmeansbusiness #savvybusinessowner #fromwhereiwork #workingfromhomelife #brandtips #strategicdesign #workfromhomelifestyle #brandingandmarketing #businesstipsandtricks #femaleentrepreneurship #brandpersonality #workfromhomebusiness #brandmessage #businessgrowthtips #creativestrategy #scaleyourbusiness #intentionalbusiness #personalbrandingtips #lifestyleentrepreneur #onlinebusinesstraining #brandingsolutions
