Branding goes far beyond a product or service–it is the visual language that communicates a company’s purpose and values to its target audience. The founders of Classmate Studio, Fruzsina Folfoldi and Jozsef Kiss have conceptualized and designed these visual identities for brands like Brew Your Mind Brewery and organizations like Budapest Design Week. What’s more, they both work remotely and collaboratively throughout Hungary, Scotland and Finland.
In this online course, learn how to create a visual identity based on a truly original concept. Fruzsina and Jozsef guide you through elevating a brand’s design, strategy, and campaigns. Expand your design toolkit while by exploring the art of collaborative work and connecting a brand's purpose to its visual ecosystem.

Seria genial que profundicen mejor en los temas, son muy profsionales en lo que hacen pero a veces se siente que estuvieran jugando sin abordar la complejidad que requiere cada paso del proces de creación de una marca

It's a very helpful course, I really enjoyed it, it includes all the processes that a designer might need to deliver a megaproject on his own,
Keep up the great work.
