## Description

Michael Johnson is one of the world's leading graphic designers and brand consultants. His studio, johnson banks, is responsible for the rebranding of many notable clients, including Virgin Atlantic, Think London, BFI, Christian Aid, and MORE TH>N, and he has garnered a plethora of awards in the process. In Branding , Johnson strips everyday brands down to their basic components, with case studies that enable us to understand why we select one product or service over another and allow us to comprehend how seemingly subtle influences can affect key life decisions. The first part of the book shows how the birth of a brand begins not with finding a solution but rather with identifying the correct question the missing gap in the market to which an answer is needed. Johnson proceeds to unveil hidden elements involved in creating a successful brand from the strapline that gives the brand a narrative and a purpose to clever uses of typography that unite design and language. With more than 1,000 illustrations showcasing the world's most successful corporate identities, as well as generic templates enabling you to create your own brand or ad with ease, Branding explores every step of the development process required to create the simplest and most immediately compelling brands.

Review: The best book on the whole branding process there is. - There are great books on strategy. There are great books on design and branding. But there's never been one book for both. Until now. This book is a must for anyone (at any level) working in the field of brand identities. Be that agency side or client side. It successfully demystifies the branding (or rebranding) process from start to finish. Eschewing marketing speak in favour of plain English - it's a joy to read. Fantastic examples from all over the world are used to illustrate points, along with some honest anecdotes covering the highs and lows of rebranding massive corporations. In short - this book is a future classic. Add it to your brand bookshelf asap.
Review: One of the best books of branding I luckily have found in my way - It summarises information from a lot of recognised branding books and it exemplifies all the theory through very relevant and clear cases of study. I just completed a Master in Branding and I really wish I had discovered this book before. It also go through the different stages of design, bridging strategy with design which, for me, is brilliant. I think that if you are interested on the branding field, this is a must!
