About Brand Affiniti

Hi, thanks for visiting. I’m Greg Dodimead and I’m a Bristol based Graphic Designer who is driven to help businesses get the most from their brand and visual marketing!

What makes me different?

Knowledge is power

Running a business is a marathon not a sprint and changes are inevitable. That is why I like to learn as much as possible about your vision to create a versatile, strong brand.

It’s all about you

My branding process is tailored to involve the client (you) as much as possible. Your brand is all about you, your values and mission.

I understand

Change can be difficult and branding is no exception, but it is exciting. I understand the need to get it right.

My process

Discovery session & design brief

I want to know and learn as much about your business and your vision as possible. This helps us to build up a picture of what it is you do, how you do it and most importantly what makes you different. We then put all of this information into a structured design brief so you can be confident I understand your vision.

Mood boards

I use the information I have gathered from you to do visual research and gather existing logos, visuals, colours and styles that compliment and enhance your business’ visual representation. I also look into your industry at what has been done before, to see what has been successful and crucially, what has failed. All of this visual information I put onto a board that creates the ‘mood’ for your business.

Concept phase

I take all of the information from the design brief and mood board and use it to create multiple ‘quick’ concepts that explore a variety of directions that you can choose from. Those you choose will be taken forward to develop further into a more comprehensive set of concept visuals to a near finished standard. I also introduce it on media it will likely be used in/on for example: if you are in the trades then it will be used on uniforms and vehicles. This will give you everything you need to make an informed decision.

Final development

Now you have made a decision as to which concept direction suits you best, I work with you to fine tune your chosen concept. This begins with a complete redraw to iron out any imperfections and to make any necessary improvements and changes to make it a perfect fit for your business.

Delivery

All design work completed, sign off achieved, it is time to package up your brand and deliver it to you for use. All finished files will be saved and delivered in several file formats ensuring you have a comprehensive package of visual material for use within both print and digital media. This is also accompanied with a full set of brand guidelines to ensure your brand is used correctly.

What’s next…?

Once all of your files have been delivered I will then catch up with you to answer any questions you may have regarding the use of your files i.e. what format is best in what application etc… I will also discuss with you how else your brand can be used and also whether you require any further work to align your existing marketing materials/collateral with your exciting new brand i.e. brochures, exhibition graphics and so on.
