How can I ensure that the brand designer understands my brand's vision and values?
To ensure the brand designer understands your brand's vision and values, start by providing them with a comprehensive brand brief. This should include your brand’s history, mission, target audience, core values, and objectives. Additionally, sharing visual inspiration, mood boards, or previous brand assets can help the designer gain a better understanding of your aesthetic preferences. Effective communication is key, so have an initial consultation to discuss and align on your brand vision.
