Learn to develop strong brand concepts and design engaging visual identities through efficient online collaboration with clients and other creatives

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.
