Branding Class: Example Deliverables

This class needs a few PDF examples of the various deliverables. Especially since each video/class goes so fast and moves from idea to idea in just a few seconds.

I know this isn't a question, but is unsolicited feedback.

I agree ! I also think it would be really cool to do a mini branding project of a client re-brand along with tutorials to really put the theory to practice.

I love this idea. Having a "sample" branding project to work on would be really fun and a great learning experience to help us learn the process.

Agreed. It's great that it's talked about, but it would sure help having a PDF that shows all these deliverables.

Hey Jason, Feedback like this isn’t entirely unsolicited. It’s good to hear this kind of constructive criticism. Send me an email (hello@mattyow.com) if you have specific questions I can help with. Thanks!

Hi Matt! Many thanks for taking time and making this course. Could you suggest couple of books on branding and developing branding guidelines, please?

Fully agree. Matt is going through important steps with just a sentence or a few words. Please add supplementary information such as pdf examples or more screenshots to help make the learning process more visual and understandable. Less shots of you standing there talking! :)

Agreed. This course refers a lot to case studies, assets, documents etc. It needs some templates and examples to download.

I also agree with all the guys, we could really benefit using proper files or templates to practise with. Anyway Matt has given very good tips and ideas here. Hope he will help more providing us with some downloadable material.

Well...it is a '...Basics' class - like a 'Survey' class in school. Being on here to focus on web design, these courses are just 'supplementary'. We need to know enough to be familiar with these concepts, but not necessarily be able to enact them by simply viewing this 1 course.
