Build Your Own Brand
A 10-Step Approach to Building Your Own Brand
Designing your personal brand is arguably one of the toughest tasks for any graphic designer. But the key element to any successful career is in defining your brand and making an indelible impression on your audience. So where do you start?
Building your own brand entails using your design expertise to create an original visual and verbal identity for yourself. Join us for a live design tutorial with Distinguished Professor, Robin Landa, for a one-hour online event where she’ll walk you through an easy, 10-step guide to building your own brand (10-step BYOB Guide).
You are not a corporation, so your identity should not look like a corporate identity. Nor are you exactly like every other designer, so your bio shouldn’t read like anyone else’s either. Your typography, composition, and copy should reflect your design sense and sensibility. There are many admirable portfolios out there. An engaging personal brand identity can ensure notice of yours.

- Your 10-step BYOB Guide
