Creating a brand can be a little overwhelming at the outset. With so many details to pull together - colors, fonts, patterns - it can be difficult to know where to start.
That’s where an inspiration boards comes in.
An inspiration board is a collection of images and color blocks that provides a starting place for many designers at the outset of a project.
While many of them are gorgeous and well-curated, inspiration boards are more than just a pretty collection of photos.
By coming up with an inspiration board at the outset of a project, designers are able to give their clients a visual representation of what they have in mind for their brand before they get started on it, just to be sure they’re on the same page visually.
These boards help create consistency throughout the entire branding process and make it easier to arrive at an appropriate outcome.
I shared a post last year on how to create a clean and cohesive inspiration board, but today I’m walking you through how to utilize an inspiration board throughout the entire scope of the branding process.
Whether you’re working with clients on the design of their brand or you’re building your brand from scratch, this post will help you create consistency from start to finish.
