This week in Corporate Communications we are going to focus on on original wordmark design. In order to explain the process I use, I am showing some examples of my own work and some of the inspiration resources I use.

Personal identity for collegue Richard Ybarra

Shag Baby: identity for clothing line

 

Preliminary Design for Creative Posse

Here is an example of the type of images I shoot for reference. To see more Download Images_no.
