The brand is the way an organization has to express its values: who it is, what it does, how it does it and for whom. A brand well founded on relevant strategies is capable of generating affinity, arousing emotions in consumers and, consequently, achieving success in its sector.
In this course you will develop your creativity to design logotypes and brands, understanding design as a dialogue. You will discover some theoretical aspects of the world of brand identity and learn to think critically and strategically when facing a branding and logo design project.

A course by Juan Carlos Fernández Espinosa (identidad.com)
Juan Carlos Fernández defines himself as a brand creator. Graphic designer by profession, he has been designing logos and identity programs for large and medium-sized companies and institutions for more than 30 years, although, as he says, he does not escape the requests of friends and family to "design a loguito".
As a founding partner and creative director of the study of branding Ideograma, Juan Carlos' designs and ideas appear on all types of media, from the Bicentennial logo on Mexican banknotes to the graphic identity present in the Volaris aircraft, Mexican airline low-cost , passing through museums, magazines, fashion brands and banks, among many others.

BUENISIMO. Es un curso diferente, no es tanto de que te enseñe a hacer las cosas prácticamente, sino que se va al fondo de las razones de hacerlo. Es muy claro y muy asertivo. Muy recomendable

Es sin duda altamente recomendable.
Yo conocí al maestro Juan Carlos Fernández por una amiga que lo conoció en persona. Me despertó la curiosidad, y después vi sus trabajos en su ciclo con Ideograma. Cuando vi que estaba en Doméstika, di por hecho que sería un aprendizaje efectivo y así fue. Ojalá vengan más cursos con él. ¡Gracias!
