Branding is such an overwhelming process. Picking colors, choosing a name, fonts, image inspiration. And that’s all just the surface of your brand. There’s so much more that goes into it. Your content, customer service, the value you provide. If you feel like you don’t have a creative mind, it may help to look at mood boards that are already created for you.
As I suggested in the post “Choosing Your Brand Colors“, there should be some rhyme or reason to the color palette you choose for your business. You should have something that will attract your ideal customer (and also be something you like and/or can tolerate).
Once you have your color palette chosen, you’ll want to create a mood or inspiration board. Why a mood board, you ask? The short answer is because having it all right in front of you at any given time will save you time and money!
Quarterly, I will share branding ideas and color palettes that reflect the mood of the season. If these speak to your ideal client and the type of business you are building, you can grab already-done-for-you Canva templates right here on the new digital content platform, Direct Creatives!
