How to style your brand: Everything you need to know!

14 August 2015 Filed Under: DIY Web Design, For the Designers, Freelance Life 3 Comments

Wow what a great week it’s been on the blog – thank you to all those who liked, shared and commented on my posts this week it means the world to me! In the past I’ve found it extremely hard to stick to a blogging schedule but with the help of these nifty Progress Maps from Made Vibrant and the great enjoyment I’m getting from colouring in a ‘hump’ in every morning I’m finding my blogging a whole lot more enjoyable and easy to do!

Ok so onto today’s post…

I get so excited talking about branding and the importance of it – not only for your business but also your blog.  Over the last year, after learning so much on the topic from Andrea Barras, I’ve completely fallen in love with it so when I came across this relatively new book by Fiona Humberstone I almost wet my pants, ok not really but close enough!

Released at the beginning of 2015 this self-published book has become a best-selling coffee table book but much to my disappointment is currently sold out in the UK – when I looked on Amazon yesterday it was selling for £999!!!

Anyway here’s a little synopsis of the book –  How to style your brand: Everything you need to know to create a distinctive brand identity 

The right brand identity has the power to attract, engage and compel people to do business with you. But for many entrepreneurs, creating an effective brand can be a challenge.

In this comprehensive workbook, Fiona Humberstone will walk you through the process of styling your brand. From finding your focus, creating an inspirational vision and unlocking the power of colour psychology; Fiona will help you understand the design details that will make your business irresistible. How to Style Your Brand will ensure you get your branding right, first time.

An alternative for those of you, like myself, who can’t get your hands on this gem of a book (yet) is Fiona’s handy How to Style Your Brand Planning Workbook which will help you find focus, gain clarity and form a foundation for your fabulous new brand identity. 

I’ll leave you with some lovely images of the book for you to swoon over. Have a lovely weekend!

      Ha, ha I know right. I’m considering purchasing it from the US Amazon store – it’s $30 on there which isn’t bad

Testimonials

Nicola helped me turn the image of my blog in my head into a reality. She has gone above and beyond every step of the way; always willing to offer up help and advice and teaching me how to do things better myself. I was a little worried about working with someone in another city; but the whole process was simple and streamlined and the distance was totally irrelevant. I loved working with Nicola and look forward to working with her again in the future.
Mandy Lee Miller (Pregnant in Cape Town)
Nicola is great to work with in every way – she is knowledgeable, timely, friendly, full of good advice and accommodating. Nicola knows what works well but keeps you and your ideas at the forefront when designing your website. I would highly recommend her services!

You have been really great and extremely professional. Thank you so so much for making this such a pleasant experience.

Working with Nicola on my new website was truly phenomenal. Not only does she have amazing ideas, skill & website insights, but she is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that your site is more than you even imagined. I am so incredibly grateful for my new, gorgeous site. Nix – you are a gem and it was genuinely such a privilege to have worked with you!!

Nicola is incredibly professional and creative. Her work is always done in a timely manner with great care and with a focus on details. I truly enjoy working with her and her skills, paired with her creative eye and aesthetic appreciation are not only rare, but exceptional too.
Nadia van der Mescht
Nicola is wonderfully talented, kind and dedicated on both a personal and professional level. She always has practical advice to share when challenges present, and her balanced, thoughtful approach to life in general is inspiring.
Andrea Barras (Clever Bird Banter)
I am so thrilled with our new site! Nicola just ‘got it’, she knew exactly what I wanted and worked tirelessly to complete the site. She was approachable, organised and kept me up to date with the site as it progressed. The cherry on the top was being provided with tutorials, lessons and links which have left me confident with updating and changing the site daily. Thank you Nicola.
