I hope you enjoyed this style of video, let me know if you want to see more videos like this?!🎉You can also check out my client’s new branding in action here: instagram.com/theclayfulco/
First of all thank you so much for making this video.. I can see Clearly all of your process,, So I hope you can make videos like this more.. I'm sooo interested.. because I can also learn a lot from your step by step in branding design process..
Clicked on the notification as soon as i saw designing a brand, just started a new branding project and watched like 7 of your brand design process videos. Can’t wait to get you course as soon as i can afford it 😍
AYYY thank you! I'm going to be doing lots more design-focused videos this year, which is exciting! Hope you enjoy the video and I really appreciate your support! (hopefully see you in the course!!)❤️
Thanks for sharing your behind-the-scenes process! Your ability to translate client ideas into visually stunning brand designs is commendable. I especially loved how you addressed client feedback and made thoughtful revisions...
Absolutely incredible! Would you please continue to make full in depth videos like this and maybe show the file creation as well? How you package and deliver the files. It would be really helpful to see. Also would you consider making a video about licensing of images and fonts and all the copyright laws surrounding design. I've been trying to learn it but without much luck on the internet. You're the best teacher and it would be amazing.
You are truly an inspiration! You show us what working with a real client is and I actually, as a designer, have been learning a lot with you about the design process. You are a well organized and super creative professional and your videos have been a very good input on how to be a better designer. Keep up the immaculate work!
ABI! Girrrrrl, you betta work! This video is immaculate. from the intro, to the detailed and transparent content and sharing, to the call to action and ALTERNATIVE call to action. Yes!
I'm mesmerized by the typeface you created!! Everything looks so beautiful and well-though out from the logo to the pattern. Thank you for showing us footage from a real client process, this is so helpful and inspiring. Love the longer format videos!!
I've been watching this channel for a while now, I've really seen your improvement and how much more energized you are! You used to work a separate job outside of graphic design while running this channel and I noticed how much it wore you down. I'm happy you're happy, now! ❤
Thank you for showcasing your graphic design process! Your in-depth conversations not only ensure customer satisfaction but also build stronger relationships with clients. Your dedication to understanding their needs truly shines in your work! As an upcoming Graphic Designer, im really enjoying this❤😁
Your organization and professionalism are truly top notch. This no doubt raises your brand’s value and makes your operations run much more smoothly. Impressive!
Wow… I’m completely amazed and mind-blown in the best way! I absolutely love this design, and I’m so glad I clicked on that video RUclips suggested to me! You really did an amazing job on this one!
As a designer myself who's trying to climb his ways to get better at logo/branding this year, I sure do love this. Gives me hints and places where I should improvise on my communication and thinking into vision. Thanks a lot for this
Oh Abi I’m real glad you’re back! I looove your videos, they are so inspiring! I only discovered them last summer when I had to do a packaging/branding project for uni and your content is truly so helpful! And not just that, somehow I find it really entertaining as well 😅 But I reaaally hope you‘ll bring back the „Design a brand with me from start to finish” videos - together with the packaging ones they are by far my favourites! I’m especially impressed and amazed by the brand reveals in the end - maybe you could show us more on how you edit those? Cause they are top notch! And tbh I much prefer the simple style when you just take us with you and show us the detailed process vs these super professional ones (still like the content though!) that focus more on strategy and stuff. Thank you for your work, you are amazing 💖
Feels good to be back posting! Thank you for your kind words, glad you've been enjoying the content and found it helpful :) I have a design with me video coming in 4 weeks time (it's edited just been scheduled)
wow, I just curiously opened a brand identity video. and I am in love with your process and strategy with undertaking a project so smoothly. great content!
I really enjoy this type of video but I love when you show the creative process instead of talking us through it once it’s completed. Like creating the mood board and logo.
im currently thinking of switching my career paths. and i've been done some research about brand identity and graphic design and they surely intrigued me. thank you for your videos!! they are helping me to get more confident to start again from 0
I truly enjoyed this video. I love BTS looks of how a brand executed the before and final stages to a logo/brand identity. Great job on Clayful Abi! i really love the colours and custom font you did for the brand 😊
Thanks, Abi ! Learned massive things for my own work and branding projects. THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEO 💕☀️🪷, if possible then kindly make a video on how to make valid invoice and agreements to safeguard both parties and also on HOW TO use Notion as a Designer because you have organized your workflow very efficiently. Will definitely purchase your course in the future, right now as per Indian Rupees and my Pocket I am not ready for this. MUCH LOVE AND BLESSINGS FOR YOUR COURSE. 💖
Thank you so much! I would love to see a video of the file delivering process! like organising the folders and everything because that seems kind of confusing to me. Thanks again love your process :)
Ooooh that's amazing! Thank you for sharing the BTS for your project 😍 Abi, could you do a video talking a little bit more about what we should include in a contract for Brand Identity, please? That's something I'm struggling a lot lately and I would love to learn more from you!
Tally looks like a cool plugin for Notion but I had some setbacks with mapping the properties. I'd be happy to hear any more Notion tips and tools you use to make the most of it. Thanks for all the vids!
I love your videos! They're so informative and easy to follow. I, myself is a practicing GD and sometimes, I suffer from Designers Block LOL; And watching videos such as yours really helps to inspire me and try again. Thanks and keep it up! xoxo
Good video! Good customer who knows what she wants! Have you ever had clients who didn't know much about strategy and/or artistic direction? Like they're not sure what they want. How do you manage that?
Thank you so much for sharing this. It will be a great help if you can help me with creating a structure for any client, like the one you created for this client on Notion. I struggle a lot with planning, structure and timelines when it comes to a client. It will be great if you can share a format. Thankyou
Quick question, usually there’s a brand that needed a photography reference. Where we should find the photography references since every photos have copyrights
Thank you! It's not a website, I created a tempalte for myself in adobe indesign and illustrator so I could present my work professionally to cleints. you can get it on my website if you want: www.abiconnick.co.uk/product-page/brand-presentation-template
What a wonderful video and very educative! I just want to suggest if it would be possible for us to get like a follow-up on some of the brands you've designed identities for in the past, to see how they are doing currently and how the new and improved brand identity has helped to further their business. Thank you! 🙏
Great video. I was wondering how you gather correctly all the information during the meeting wit the client. Do you take notes or do you record the interview (with their approval), or anything else?
So I follow a script, to ensure I'm asking the right questions, and yes the meeting is recorded, so then I can go through it after and note down all the important info!
8:26 - I’m just curious, when laying out all the typography out on a page spread. Isn’t it hard to narrow down on a final concept when you have all that visual noise from all the other variants surrounding it. When the type has enough room to breathe they may look different and it might even change your perspective on it? What do you think.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :) So I offer a bunch of templates on my website: www.abiconnick.co.uk/design-templates but the call scripts and other extras are exclusive to my cleint process course. With that said, I do plan to do a video soon on how to structure and have effectively strategy calls with clients, so keep an eye out !
Ah thank you, I appreciate it :) To answer your question, I send a pattern as a png, pdf and eps (I create all my patterns as a seamless swatch, meaning they can create a repetitive pattern)
I think if you let them understand the amount of work you can do to help their vision it’ll be easier to talk money. I used to be so insecure to even ask if I can receive the payment, but as I grow, I realized that this is not something *everybody* can do thus justifies your worth. So yeah, maybe just grow into it :))
Sorry, me again! Checked out the client portal video, it's really helpful. Thank you again. Just wondering now how you wrote your contract? Did you work off a template or create it from scratch?
Glad it was helpful! I wrote my from scratch and got a lawyer to help, but I have a free resource coming in a week or so that will help people write their own!
Hello, thank you for the precious informative content ! I have a question, would you say it is safe to have notion portals with clients given that those are online, anyone with the link can access it, I know it's hard to find a notion page that you don't have the link of but I guess if you are a hacker you may spend your days searching for those or designing robots that do... Anyway, have you got any info on safety about having a work in progress online ? Thank you
Glad it was helpful 😊 So on notion, the pages aren't accessible with just a link, the person also has to have permission to view the page (usually through their email address). You can make pages online, but for this case there isn't a solid reason to do so!
Wow, your work is amazing. I'm a UI designer and my work has always been kind of just functional and lacking personality. I guess I need to learn brand/visual identity design. where do I start? Are there any good books you can recommend?
Hi @abiconnick Video was really helpful! learned alot of insights. Just wondering which project management system are you using to onboard and manage your clients? Thanks in advance
Thank you! I'm actually releasing a free course all on my onboarding process soon! If you're interested sign up to my newsletter as I'll be announcing it there when it's released! Here's a link: www.abiconnick.co.uk/newsletter
Your design process is so systematic, ❤Thanks so much for sharing that whole process. Wonder what’s the app / web you use when showing the presentation at around 12:30 ?😮😮 is it instantly amended?
No problem, hope you found it helpful :) The app is just adobe acrobat, I only used it to easily showcase the presentation for the video, I put it together in Illustrator.
Hi Abi, thanks for sharing! I noticed that as part of your brand strategy, you write copy about the company e.g. About and Mission Statement. Is this a core offering? Where would you say that process ends if the client wants more copy for all their webpages etc?
No problem! Yes, this is part of my brand strategy core offering, but anything that falls outside of this scope would then be additional e.g writing website copy :) - anything that isn't strategy related, falls outside of the core offering
If i buy the course do i need to buy the SAVER bundle or is that included? This is the best video on brand out here on youtube! Im impressed and your level of detail. I can only hope to be as good as you someday. Thank you for for all your hard work!
No need to buy the bundle, the course comes with updated versions of those templates that I don't sell anywhere, plus extras like contract and invoice template. Thank you so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video 😊
First of all, thanks for these videos because they're so inspiring and full of new stuff to learn. One thing I wanted to ask is: how do you manage to be sure that the palette you have created is going to look exactly the same when printed? Bright colours such these are the ones that look most different in CMYK. Do you use Pantones and so your client has to use them (which is more expensive) when they get it printed? Or is there any other method?
Glad to hear it was helpful 😊 So the short answer is they won't, if the client requests packaging I will convert colours to CMYK for the packaging. (I let the client know this process so they are fully aware)
This is just amazing! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! However, I would like to pick your brain on the purpose of the strategy call after the questionnaire is filled out. What's your process for that? Do you go over the responses with them and dive deeper? Or do you have another completely different process? As of right now, I'm just sending a questionnaire and then moving forward with creating the brand strategy presentation. I want to improve my results and processes; therefore I would really appreciate your input on this
Amazing videos as always Abi, we’ve learned from you more than we learned in years from youtube! I have one question though, at what stage do you start designing the packaging for the brand? Is it the one included in the presentation or designed after?
Thank you :) So if a brand requires extra touchpoints, like packaging, social media templates etc, I start this after the brand identity has been signed off!
i think i'd rather see the process of you designing from scratch. it feels like we've already seen this and a few other projects enough times in your content. thats just me tho! still very helpful and informative, thank you!
Don't worry I have plenty of those videos in the pipeline (recording one yesterday actually) but won't be out for a month tho! Thanks for the support 😊
hi abi hope you're doing well .love to watch your videos . long story short i have a baby of confusion in logotypes at one side we study that there are 7 to 8 types of logo . but when you are making logo for a brand you don't talk about logo type . you made 2 variations of the main logo . in which type they lay in ? please guide me i am little perfectionist designer .

Watched 11s after upload. My personal new record 😂❤❤
DEDICATION!!!!! Appreciate your support, thank you!

Thank you! 🙏
Glad to hear you enjoyed it :) This is a great idea, I will make a note on it!
@@abiconnick thank you 🙌
Hi Abi. How do you design mockups?
Please What apps do you use for the processes?
I mean the process of reaching out to your clients.
Hello Abi! I have one question, how many meetings in total you make in the full process? Thank you!
3 in total, Discovery call, strategy call and off boarding call. (sometimes there is a call about revision after i present the brand, if needed)
Great video. I was wondering how you gather correctly all the information during the meeting wit the client. Do you take notes or do you record the interview (with their approval), or anything else?
So I follow a script, to ensure I'm asking the right questions, and yes the meeting is recorded, so then I can go through it after and note down all the important info!
Great video! thanks for sharing!
Fantastic overview, and the branding looks great
Thank you 😊
Please make the community
WHAT WAS THAT PLATFOM YOU USED TO IDENTIFY THE BRAND TRAITS AT MINITUE 5:44?
?????
Great job! Really useful video. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
8:26 - I’m just curious, when laying out all the typography out on a page spread. Isn’t it hard to narrow down on a final concept when you have all that visual noise from all the other variants surrounding it. When the type has enough room to breathe they may look different and it might even change your perspective on it? What do you think.
Great point, so I usually drag my top 3 choices onto there own artboard to get rid of distractions :)
so detailed, loved the feedback form idea
Thank you :)
love your content! was truly amazing to watch. Where can I find that script or do you not offer it as a template?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :) So I offer a bunch of templates on my website: www.abiconnick.co.uk/design-templates but the call scripts and other extras are exclusive to my cleint process course.

It's been a week since I started to follow you and you are amazing! I have a question, when sending all the files, how do you send the pattern? PNG?
Ah thank you, I appreciate it :) To answer your question, I send a pattern as a png, pdf and eps (I create all my patterns as a seamless swatch, meaning they can create a repetitive pattern)
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer!@@abiconnick
I want to know how to discuss the money with the client I always get stock around in that area n get very nervous
I think if you let them understand the amount of work you can do to help their vision it’ll be easier to talk money.
I used to be so insecure to even ask if I can receive the payment, but as I grow, I realized that this is not something *everybody* can do thus justifies your worth.
So yeah, maybe just grow into it :))
Hi Abi, can you give us a rough idea of what you charged the client and from start to finish how long were you on the project
Hey! I can't give you an exact price, but my projects range from £5-£15k. and this project span over 6 weeks :)
If we've already purchased the portal, do we have to purchase again for the updated versions?
No I don't sell this version that's seen in the video this is just something I created for myself :)
Sorry, me again! Checked out the client portal video, it's really helpful. Thank you again. Just wondering now how you wrote your contract? Did you work off a template or create it from scratch?

Wonder what’s the app / web you use when showing the presentation at around 12:30 ?😮😮 is it instantly amended?
No problem, hope you found it helpful :) The app is just adobe acrobat, I only used it to easily showcase the presentation for the video, I put it together in Illustrator.
Hi Abi, thanks for sharing! I noticed that as part of your brand strategy, you write copy about the company e.g. About and Mission Statement. Is this a core offering? Where would you say that process ends if the client wants more copy for all their webpages etc?
No problem! Yes, this is part of my brand strategy core offering, but anything that falls outside of this scope would then be additional e.g writing website copy :) - anything that isn't strategy related, falls outside of the core offering
You really plan things well
This proces is 6 years in the making! But thank you :)
are you able to say what font sizes you used
Off the top of my head I'm not sure but, I adjust the sizing depending on the output!
If i buy the course do i need to buy the SAVER bundle or is that included? This is the best video on brand out here on youtube! Im impressed and your level of detail. I can only hope to be as good as you someday. Thank you for for all your hard work!
No need to buy the bundle, the course comes with updated versions of those templates that I don't sell anywhere, plus extras like contract and invoice template. Thank you so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video 😊
watching these guys mastring graphic design make me feel lefted behind fr 🙃
First of all, thanks for these videos because they're so inspiring and full of new stuff to learn. One thing I wanted to ask is: how do you manage to be sure that the palette you have created is going to look exactly the same when printed? Bright colours such these are the ones that look most different in CMYK. Do you use Pantones and so your client has to use them (which is more expensive) when they get it printed? Or is there any other method?
Glad to hear it was helpful 😊 So the short answer is they won't, if the client requests packaging I will convert colours to CMYK for the packaging. (I let the client know this process so they are fully aware)
The logo mark is so similar to the Creative Cloud logo.
Wow! That's was great❤❤. Abi can you make video on font licencing. I don't know how can we do this😢😢 . Pls...
Thank you! Sure thing I will note it down :)
@@abiconnick A bigg thanks🤩🤩
How can I learn all this from scratch
This is just amazing! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! However, I would like to pick your brain on the purpose of the strategy call after the questionnaire is filled out. What's your process for that? Do you go over the responses with them and dive deeper? Or do you have another completely different process? As of right now, I'm just sending a questionnaire and then moving forward with creating the brand strategy presentation. I want to improve my results and processes; therefore I would really appreciate your input on this
Amazing videos as always Abi, we’ve learned from you more than we learned in years from youtube! I have one question though, at what stage do you start designing the packaging for the brand? Is it the one included in the presentation or designed after?
Thank you :) So if a brand requires extra touchpoints, like packaging, social media templates etc, I start this after the brand identity has been signed off!
SOOO GOOOD !
Thank you :)
Your videos are so inspiring...❤☺️
Really glad they are! Hope you enjoyed this one!!🎉
i think i'd rather see the process of you designing from scratch. it feels like we've already seen this and a few other projects enough times in your content. thats just me tho! still very helpful and informative, thank you!
Don't worry I have plenty of those videos in the pipeline (recording one yesterday actually) but won't be out for a month tho! Thanks for the support 😊
hi abi hope you're doing well .love to watch your videos . long story short i have a baby of confusion in logotypes at one side we study that there are 7 to 8 types of logo . but when you are making logo for a brand you don't talk about logo type . you made 2 variations of the main logo . in which type they lay in ? please guide me i am little perfectionist designer .
