For a while I have been jumping from logo to logo and never really felt a good connection to one of them, so I decided to challenge myself to create a new branding for myself and my brand. I was treating this project as if it was for a real client and how they would want their brand image to look like.
So I began by doing some research online to get an idea of how other designers choose upon their brand design and what influences their choices. I then began mind mapping things about myself (Personal Interests, Hobbies, My History and Background) which I compiled together.
Sketching Stage
Next step I took was to start sketching out some ideas of a monogram that I could use. I focused on the first letters in both my forename and surname and tried to see what interesting combinations I could come up with.
The next step is to figure out the wordmark, So I began by taking a collection of typefaces and laying them out in a Illustrator Document and laying them out in different weights and positions to find what layout works best and what typeface works best for the brand.
