The overuse of the brand color worries me now because I wanted to stick with black and white Perhaps I should use more colors but maintain the overall dark theme, somehow
I read and researched so much about marketing and brands during the years I spent on buying books ,but Mike explained it so easy and true and to the point , in 20 minutes that just as I'm going to lunch my brand , it shows me that I'm good in some areas but need to implement in others, thank you John for bringing Mike to teach us what to do .
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am in the early stages of understanding what a brand is about. You have explained it so well, much appreciated. Thank you
Dope video. I was a creative director for 2 decades working on various Fortune 500 brands. The biggest mistake I see people starting up make is that they design for themselves rather than a demographic. The people that get hung up on that and don’t evolve their brand foundation / brand voice to a specific demographic usually have a lack of sales. Art is obv subjective but in the saturated streetwear market you really have to design for what the demographic wants not what you personally think is cool. Once you make art that evokes that emotional connection w/ a specific audience all the marketing tactics become much easier.
Amazing content. You guys & Mike killed it. So much knowledge & insight packed in this one video. Thank you so much for bringing an in-depth look to us.
A lot of things in fashion are cliche. Seeing graffiti would be inviting for a skate brand, neon forward colors, it's a vibe. Also, train tracks evoke a sense of mystery, journey, and usually the brown and green tones can be worked off of. I would say it really is up to your specific brand.
You are 100% right. I think the point I'm trying to make here is that too many people are doing it without actually giving it the thought you have here. Your attention to detail and being able to explain each element is what I'm looking for. - Mike Leisure
Thanks John for this video. Mike is crazy specific and objective. Everything he said makes sense and its true. Keep making this type of videos, you are actually helping a lot a lot of people.
This is great, John. I agree so much with the idea of taking a smaller lane/target audience. You're just not going to beat out the brands that are going for the masses. I preach this with my SEO clients all the time, about going after a more niche set of keywords/customers.
Thank you for this information. Everything is definitely in perspective now. I am going to the mall today and just watch people and the attire they have on and kind of build a profile in my mind and find my true target for my brand. Thank you, again...
Successful business is a great logo and brand that the people your selling too relates too. Quality of the materials. I advise 100% cotton or wool. Quality is always better than quantity. Also your price for your product. If you’re paying $1 for a 100% cotton hoodie. $25-$30 is a great price. You will sell quick bc it’s affordable and the quality. Most people’s hoodies are $40-$50 with mixed fabrics. You won’t go wrong! I’m getting back into the clothing. I barely kept up with my orders the first time around. Things I know now I’ll crush it. I’ll post soon on my next logo. Waiting for my logo guy now
Top notch points. I'm sure many of us know people from all walks of life. To get a better idea of what to create I will have to "study" what people wear (maybe expand on the idea as to why). Question for anyone; What's a quality design software program I can use to "mock" up designs to see how they look? As what's in the mind and whats in front of you so the eyes can process it and then again the mind can think on positive adjustments is very different compared to mass production (possible failure depends on where you are at).
lol I don't know what it is or why but we all have this tendency to do the same when we start. That and the crazy dutch angles for no reason. oh and shooting flowers at a really low depth of field. hahahaha - Leisure
