I LOVE my new branding, Abi! I can’t thank you enough 😁🩵 I’ve gotten so many compliments on it already, and it makes putting together branding materials so much easier than before.🔥
Been doing design for over two decades and your process and process documents are nearly flawless. Best I’ve ever seen offered. And I have seen hundreds. 🎉
I'm a Graphic Designer and Illustrator my self but I don't do brading. I never really enjoyed it and I kind of hate it, but I always enjoy seeing Brand Design specialists come from begining to final result in a project. Amazing work Abi❤
I’m a designer just starting out and I’ll be honest I’m not great. But you are the only reason I still do this. You’ve made me a better designer. Thank you Abi❤
Keep going! Whenever we take one something new, it's natural to feel out of depth for a while. I promise over time, you'll get more confident and your skills will be epic! So glad I can help! ❤
This is an absolutely wonderful rebrand. Exudes all the qualities you mentioned, and really gives off that "big brand" professional look. Nice job on this Abi!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and experience with us! I love your videos so much because they are interesting and really helpful! I'm studying design and thanks to you I understand the whole process better through each video and have fun trying it out myself!
Hi Abi, just found your channel and i can't leave. Your thought process is wonderful and your designs are so beautiful. Love what you do. I'm trying to get into the design biz and your channel is my best discovery yet. Thank you so much for the wonderful content.
This was such a great informational video, Abi! Thank you for posting this. I'd appreciate your insights on how designers can learn about brand strategy. Please recommend any free or paid resources.
Glad to hear it! And to answer you're question, I have a video on my strategy process here: th-cam.com/video/YoYiW0sz-R0/w-d-xo.html and I'm also currently working on a course!
You inspire me so much to continue with Brand Design with your explanatory videos. Thank you very much! Can you please create a video on the templates required and their importance in onboarding clients?
So nice to hear, thank you :) I actually have a free course all on onboarding clients, you can enroll in it here: www.abiconnick.co.uk/onboarding-course
For Strategy Do we have to Research About Competitors Or Client? Will Client Give Names Of Competitor Atleast? and Also For Colors RGB OR CMYK We Have To Choose RGB Mode Right? What if Branding Includes Printing Material and Packaging Box ? Then Which Color Mode to Work With ?? Love Your Design Process!! Keep inspiring us!! i also want to make moodboard but its hard to choose image of inspiration!
Abi, I've been watching your channel for a couple of years now, and I have FINALLY gotten the courage to start my freelance career! Thank you so much for sharing your process with us. I appreciate all that you do!
Love peeking behind the curtain of your process and mind. Super inspiring and informative. Do you have any go-to sites for mockups? The ones you are using are killer!
Thank you :) Yes I tend to mostly use Envato, here's a link if you want to take a look: 1.envato.market/abidesign (just to let you know this is an affiliate link)
Thank you, I appreciate it :) While I can't share an exact figure at that's confidential between the cleint and I, I will say my projects start at £5k and range all the way up to £20k depending on deliverables
You're so talented and well-organized! Unfortunately, my clients would laugh at me if I asked them to learn how to sign into a Notion account and type out all of their answers. In my experience, clients want no extra steps and just want to explain their ideas on a call. Do you have tips on how to convince clients to take the route with Notion?
Thank you! The simple solution is to charge more, then you'll only attract serious cleints who don't mind taking 2 minutes to create a notion account. If someone agrees to work with you, they have to agree with your way of doing things.
Abi your design style is evolving like a fine wine and became your unique design flavour and from this video I can see your style is also approaching towards pretty minimalistic style too. Kindly clear my confusion is that this Clay House's Logo Mark has a Candle mark representing a stamp, but will it be legible in every scale ? I mean, does only the Abstract Logo Styles should primarily focus on Legibility even if it costs the Expression of the Brand. I may sound silly, but this Internet Trend's and Gurus have messed up with my perspectives.
Hey, I appreciate the kind words on my design style! It's cool to see how a designer's style adapts over the years! Regarding your questions: all of my clients receive a full logosuite for this exact reason. This ensures that no matter the size, there is a logo variation available to maintain legibility. For Clay House Candles, the logo mark will still be legible at most sizes since it's quite a simple design. As long as the logo suite is adaptable and you have variations, you're all good.
Amazing! Really good video! You nailed it 😄 I have a question about the first stage of this rebranding. Is there a difference between mini strategy and the brand strategy template that you sell on your website?
Generally, I charge anywhere from £5k-£15k. It's all dependant on the specific needs of the client. Projects can take anywhere from 6-10 weeks. Hope this helps!
@@abiconnick Yes! Always love the timing. I'm doing a different brand (speech therapy), however, this is very inspiring and well-documented. It is helping me fix some details to get a better outcome. Como siempre, gracias Abi!
I'm going to be honest, it will be tough to do from a phone, but you can at least start on it. But I would look to try and get a laptop as soon as you can!
Off course you can! But it takes a little bit patiente and requires you to use different apps and websites in order to do what you'd usually do in specialized software. Or instead you can search for old versions of the programs you need so the laptop runs them with no lag, I think that's more practical
A lot of my clients DIY their first logo because they aren't ready to invest or aren't at the right stage in their business to get a full visual identity. I think it's really important for businesses to go through this stage because they then see the true value in brand design! She actually drew this herself using Procreate and it got her quite far in her business, but when she enquired she was ready for a change (which is great)!!

Thank you so much this video is eye opening for more n more ideas 💡 from Pakistan 🇵🇰
No problem!
Hello! it would be interesting to know or maybe see a video about how you create moodboards, where you get the pictures from.
Love peeking behind the curtain of your process and mind. Super inspiring and informative. Do you have any go-to sites for mockups? The ones you are using are killer!
Thank you :) Yes I tend to mostly use Envato, here's a link if you want to take a look: 1.envato.market/abidesign (just to let you know this is an affiliate link)

@@abiconnick welcome and thanks, kindly also share the logo marks in the video too because I got confused.
abi, do you edit your own videos?
nice work .
Thanks!
Amazing job Abi! I wondering how much time you spent on this project?
Thank you! The whole project took around 6 weeks, but that wasn't continuously :)
Amazing! Really good video! You nailed it 😄
I have a question about the first stage of this rebranding. Is there a difference between mini strategy and the brand strategy template that you sell on your website?
This is awesome! I would love to know how you work on putting together your color palettes. Do you use any specific tools as guides?
Thank you! No tools, just a lot of experimentation, I'll do a video on my process in the future :)
@@abiconnick That would be amazing! 🤩
Could you in the future give us the font names for all the fonts? I've been looking for a font like the first one in the right side column for ages...
I love you 💝💝💝
Im here to learn how to make my online store logo. Im on a budget so its hard to hire a pro atm
That's completely understandable! Glad to have you here :)
I love so much this videos 🥹🥹
Glad to hear it :)
for junior's motivation, would you disclose how much did you charge for this work and how much time did you consumed for that?
Generally, I charge anywhere from £5k-£15k. It's all dependant on the specific needs of the client. Projects can take anywhere from 6-10 weeks. Hope this helps!
I’ve just designed my own logo for my business but I don’t know if it’s any good and need someone to advise me but I have nobody 😢
Which software you use for editing👀👀...PLEASE ANSWER.?????
Adobe premiere pro and after effects
Hi... what adaptor your using to use your Macbook while its closed to show the display on your monitor?
I use a USB C cable, it both powers the mac and shows display on monitor
@@abiconnick thanks your the best
So great to see you again Abi! It’s been so long… 🥹
It has! Thank you for still being around to support! I'm hoping to get back into posting at least 2x month now :)
@@abiconnick of course! i would never miss a video 🥰 can't wait to see more videos 😊
31 mins ago? Let me get into this asap!
Hope you enjoy!
@@abiconnick Yes! Always love the timing. I'm doing a different brand (speech therapy), however, this is very inspiring and well-documented. It is helping me fix some details to get a better outcome. Como siempre, gracias Abi!
Is that possible to do all these designing stuff with mobile phone? I like to start but my laptop is not new.
I'm going to be honest, it will be tough to do from a phone, but you can at least start on it. But I would look to try and get a laptop as soon as you can!
Off course you can! But it takes a little bit patiente and requires you to use different apps and websites in order to do what you'd usually do in specialized software. Or instead you can search for old versions of the programs you need so the laptop runs them with no lag, I think that's more practical
Thank you. 🙏
Which app do you recommend as a beginner?
not gonna lie the way u research and done your work is appreciable. Only color palate is the only thing which i don't like.
Hi I’m 13 years old tryna be your graphic designer watching your videos do you have any tips?
You have a lot of time, so enjoy the process, don't put to much pressure on yourself and do a lot of passion projects!
❤
good
Love your videos!! Currently working on a school project and wondering where you get your cute animated doodles from at 0:22 💖
Thank you! :) They are handmade, I work with a super talented animator and she made them for me!
Second comment ❤😊
There is NO way that paint drawing was her logo before. 🤯
A lot of my clients DIY their first logo because they aren't ready to invest or aren't at the right stage in their business to get a full visual identity. I think it's really important for businesses to go through this stage because they then see the true value in brand design! She actually drew this herself using Procreate and it got her quite far in her business, but when she enquired she was ready for a change (which is great)!!
