🔷 What is Branding?

Branding is the process of defining and shaping the identity of a business, product, or individual. It includes everything that influences how people see and feel about a brand.

• Brand name – What you're called

• Logo – The visual symbol of your brand

• Tagline – A short phrase that expresses your mission or value

• Brand voice – The tone and style you use when communicating (e.g., friendly, professional, bold)

• Brand values – The beliefs and principles that guide you

• Positioning – How you’re different from competitors

• Customer experience – The emotional response people have when interacting with your brand

Apple's brand is sleek, innovative, and user-focused—reflected in their stores, ads, and products.

🎨 What is Design?

Design is how your brand looks and feels—visually and sometimes functionally. Good design supports branding by making it recognizable and appealing.

• Logo design

• Typography – The fonts you use

• Color palette – Your brand’s signature colors

• Imagery style – The kind of visuals or photos you use

• Website design – Layout, user experience, responsiveness

• Packaging design – How your products are presented

• Social media graphics

✅ Example:
Coca-Cola’s red-and-white logo, classic font, and consistent look across cans, ads, and stores are all part of its design strategy.
