Redesign
Redesigning is one of the hardest design jobs you can think of. Incorporating the legacy of the existing brand is a demanding job where only years of experience can help you solve it.
Even strategically, this is hard for both sides. We all quickly see where the problem is, but choosing the right path is hard, and we can’t do this again. All brands should be built to last; the aim is long-term, and the wish is forever. It sounds like an impossible mission, but this is what a good decision does.
The reasons why we need a redesign are:
– an old brand that is hard to adapt to new media
– new product direction
– new company vision
– shift in the audience, new markets
– old marketing
– the competition is way ahead
-…
Most of the time, they are not all above; in this case, we are considering a brand refresh rather than redesigning it. We can decide together, and if it helps, ask yourself these questions and compare them to where you stand now:
– Vision: what do you want to create?
– Purpose: why do you want to create?
– Values: Who are you?
– Mission: how can you create the future?

Should designers code?
Yes, of course, you should seek it, but we should also focus on everything that helps us become better..
Every Comment Can Be Positive – How to Give Constructive Feedback to Designers
Critique doesn’t have to sting. When it’s given with care and intention, every comment—no matter how critical—can be constructive and a chance to make something great—even greater.
Sometimes we all need a little push
To start something is always hard. Whether you have experience or if this is something new, it takes a lot of effort, strength, courage, and money.
Is it sexy?
The design is more than beauty; this is what I use when I describe good branding that is easier to understand and has everything I want to say in it.
