Branding and Digital Presence Development
We seek to establish a cohesive and compelling brand identity for a new project/partner. The objective is to create a distinctive logo and branding elements that reflect the project's core values and mission. Additionally, the project involves basic video editing to produce engaging content that aligns with the brand's message. These videos will be integrated into a website that the team will help develop. The website will be hosted on Kajabi and must include e-commerce capabilities to facilitate transactions. The goal is to create a seamless and professional online presence that enhances user experience and supports the project's objectives. This project allows learners to apply their skills in graphic design, video editing, and web development within a real-world context.
