Designing Brands for Change (EMS 439)
This course introduces students to methods and practices of and for designing brand identity for transformation and positive change. “Branding” and “designing brand identity” are in this case viewed as cultural and applied mechanisms for change (corporate, cultural, personal, societal, and community-based). Through explorations of case studies and project work, students explore “branding” and brand identity as catalysts for innovation, growth, and transition. Designing brand identity for change can signal corporate and cultural visions of a better future, but it can also mean that brands themselves can be designed to change over time (flexibility, adaptability, resilience, sustainability, etc.). Students will learn skills in visual branding and graphic design that give them expertise at the intersections of media, marketing, and cultural analysis.
