Most classes have you do a student project at the end of a course, for this one I am tasking you with your first and only student project right now in this lesson.

For your student project I want you to recreate this brand with me. You can create it exactly how I do in the class OR you can make your own brand, label and product and put your own spin on it, making it the colors, look and style you want to do.

The goal of this project is to create all of the items we create in the class together for your brand. This will include the logo design and concept, the logo presentation, the branding style guide, the full page ad, a Digital ad, any custom photos, renders or graphics you may need to complete your designs, a t-shirt design and lastly some stationary design.

This is a large student project you are tasked with, with many different items to create but once you go through the process with me to create all of these items you will know how to create brand packages for any and all clients giving you the knowledge to be as versatile of a graphic designer as you can be.

I suggest after each section of the course to pause and work on your brand project for that particular type of project. So after the first logo design section, take a pause and start to think about your student project and what type of style, brand name and color you want to develop for yours. This way the project is broken down for you in easy digestible steps.

Enjoy this course and remember to take it at your own pace. This is a marathon course not a sprint to the finish. If you have any questions along the way feel free to reach out to me or to other students in the exclusive student facebook group which will be mentioned in the next lesson.

I look forward to learning with you!

I reviewed over 12 student branding projects in our latest student design challenge. Also there was an impromptu Q&A session where we talked about freelancing and graphic design with some student questions.

I wanted to post this video here in the project section so you can get a good idea of what other students did for their project. There was a wide variety of branding projects both small and extensive and the great news is you can create you project in the way you want to create it.

If you are interested in seeing the live comments with the video you can check it out on my student facebook group where we streamed this live. The resolution is a little better too.

You must be a student of any of my classes to join the group (which if you are reading this you probably are!)

Enjoy!
