Copywriting
A great example of a thoroughly thought through branding exercise that combines all the basic elements.
An understanding of the problem, a creative overarching idea, demonstrated over an appropriate range of touch points. Considered typography, colour ways, iconography, materials as well as great copy writing all build to tell the story of ‘the coop’ brand and what they do.
This is also a great example for all year 1 students who are getting to grips with a branding exercise and has been specifically posted here in order for you to study, analyse, understand and learn from.
