Brand and Web Design: Create a Visual Language From Scratch

via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

Interested in how I'd approach a professional assignment? In this class, you will learn a few tricks on how to come up with a logo and a visual language for my friends' PEI Toys brand. Furthermore, we will dive into how to design a creative website from ideation to final production including 3D graphics (webGL).

  • This class is ideal for intermediate/senior Designers and art directors interested in Brand Design, UX/UI, Visual Design, and Motion Graphics. It is not recommended for total beginners since I won’t be designing every lesson step-by-step.


Software used: Illustrator, Photoshop*, After Effects.

*Feel free to use Figma instead (I'd highly recommend that nowadays), Sketch, or Adobe XD. Design principles and approach is the same regardless of the software.

See the animated identity and some of the web screens that I'll be designing below:

And the final web grid for those who might be interested, since it evolved a bit from the one described on the class as I kept on working on the project.
