Students' Feedback
In this course, I learned what a brand is, how to define the core concepts of a brand and how to communicate those concepts in design. Also learned how to conduct brand research, analyze competitors and understand the target audience for better brand design. I was involved in real corporate branding projects, from which I learned a lot of practical experience and problem-solving skills. We went through a series of creative processes including brainstorming, sketching and design evolution to find the best design solution for the brand. In the future, I will continue to improve my design skills and stay on top of design trends and industry developments.

This polymorphic brand design course focuses on cultivating our original thinking. In the course we conveyed the brand message by integrating graphic creativity and pattern design, and at the same time focused on the creation of form, discovering and presenting the diversity and possibilities of form by observing, sketching, extracting, refining, integrating, and evolving natural forms. We integrated this learning with practical examples and designed a series of multiform posters for Wu Liang Cai Eyewear, which was a very laborious process.
--Jiang Yue, 213, 2+2 Visual Communication Major
After a few weeks of professional learning, the multiform brand design course brought me unprecedented feelings: a new teaching mode as well as a new classroom model. This practical course is not only limited to images, but also opened my eyes to learn more knowledge. Whether it is the vivid and interesting classroom or the professional guidance from the industry leaders, I have gained a lot.
