Branding is an extremely important aspect of helping businesses become successful. A brand is a unique identity that makes a company stand out in a sea of sameness. But a brand is more than just a logo and colours. A brand captures a feeling, an association that you want people to have with the company. Complete a personal project and build a small business around it. What would you call the business? What color scheme and logo would it have? What would you want people to think of when they think of your business?
