Typically related to consumer products and services’’’’ the goal of branding is to form an overall perception in the consumer’s mind through a variety of means. Branding is usually the result of collaboration among many (i.e. researchers, writers, graphic designers) where every discipline comes together to position and deliver the aspirations, values, and benefits of the product, service, or organization. Successful branding creates positive associations and establishes consistent expectations for the consumer. A brand is not just a trademark, or just a visual identity system. It is the management of differences that exist in the minds of people. To effectively differentiate their product, service, or organization designers must ask themselves of their client 1) Who are they? 2) What do they do? 3) Why does it matter? In Graphic Design III, a senior level undergraduate course, students were asked to research and create or re-create an innovative, alternative, or entrepreneurial product, service, or organization. They were also required to select one of these that were useful in terms of something such as the environment, energy conservation, sustainability, social consciousness, public awareness, time efficiency, etc. Through extensive research, writing, concept and design, each of the projects presented will reflect a student’’’’s individual brand development. These selected projects are only four of 18 currently on display in the Department of Visual Arts on the second floor of the College Park Center that are open to the public during the closing reception of the annual Horvath Juried Student Exhibition.
