30 points, Projects. About 2.5 hours.
Instructions
- Collect your final resume, your strongest business card direction, your final leave-behind and at least one branded digital asset (a profile header, portfolio banner or social profile image).
- Check each piece against your Identity Design Brief: one typeface pairing and one palette throughout.
- Make final refinements from the feedback you received this term.
- Compile everything into one PDF that shows the pieces together, with mockups if you have them, and a one-paragraph statement of the identity’s audience and tone.
Example
Someone who reads your resume, holds your card and visits your portfolio should feel they are meeting the same person: the same voice and the same visual language.
Accessibility
Make the document readable by a screen reader: use real heading styles (Heading 1 and Heading 2 in Google Docs or Word, paragraph styles in InDesign), keep text contrast high, add alt text to every image or logo, and export a tagged PDF (InDesign: Create Tagged PDF; Word or Google Docs: keep document structure tags on when you save as PDF).
Submission
Upload the identity package as one PDF.
