So... recently I've been reading design books as reference for my thesis, which is why I've got less time to read fiction books. While I feel guilty with the lack of review posts on this blog, I thought why not review some of the books I read for my thesis? These are also books, anyway. So here goes the first one ^^ Designing Brand Identity is a book written by Alina Wheeler and the first edition has been published since 2003 (I think). Over the years, she added new things and republished the book into a new edition. This one I'm reading is the fourth (and newest) edition, published last year - so the content is very updated. Thankfully, my campus library has this one available, so I can save money while gaining knowledge (because it's so expensive). And now, let's talk about the book.

Basically, the book is divided into 3 parts:
Part 1: Basics.
Presents the fundamental concepts needed to jumpstart the brand identity process and create a shared vocabulary for the entire team.
Part 2: Process.
Presents a universal brand identity process regardless of the project's scope and nature. This section answers the question "Why does it take so long?"
Part 3: Best Practices
Showcases best practices. Local and global, public and private, these projects inspire and exemplify original, flexible, lasting solutions.
