[@Tuvvva]

Such great help!! 2 questions: 1. Do you usually send these slides to your client or do you book them for an oral presentation? 2. Could you show us what the final files are and how they look when sending them to a client? File formats etc 😄 Thanks for being such an inspiration 💞 /Graphic Design student

[@beingbjarke]

Final files are usually JPG, PNG, SVG, AI and some give EPS. It depends on the clients uses. I usually like to ask them what they'll be using their logo for and supply them with a guide on how to use each file type. Abi has videos on some of the questions you're asking though so maybe watch a few more.

[@avergajixa6051]

Thank you for the video 😊, It would really be helpful to watch a video about how you create your brand guides for your clients

[@abiconnick]

This is coming soon!!

[@amr_12_]

Could this also be used as a branding guide too?

[@peregrination3643]

I was contemplating how to do a presentation for non-branding projects. But now that I'm rewatching this, I think it'd be fine to use the same format but trade out the logo section for whatever project it is and the patterns for layout. The other sections still matter, but they'd be specific about the project i.e. brochure and not referring to new branding (but explanations can still mention how existing branding got integrated). If the project was more closed like I had to stick to only the main brand type and color, it'd still create a more cohesive presentation to affirm preexisting choices and how I worked with them.

[@abiconnick]

Yes!! This is a great idea 😊

[@nwajeigideon1207]

Always love your content Abi. I got to ask though, do you send the presentation on a book mock up like this or u send as a normal pdf file?

[@abiconnick]

Thank you :) I send as PDF!

[@hansomemedia6855]

I have really enjoyed the video. How can I Email you for classes?

[@luw5244]

I’m a one concept kind of girl too since day 1! I feel like when your design is heavily strategy-led, it always feels like there’s one perfect fit concept for the brand instead of 3-5 potential direction, so I send them just that one and we can go from there

[@abiconnick]

Yes, yes, yes! Could not agree more! 😊

[@Googaify]

Definitely, sending clients 3-5 projects imo is getting paid for work half-done. It's our job to choose the project that works and is the best after all. It baffles me when I see clients who actually require a few logo designs to choose from. They completely miss the point of hiring a designer and don't realize that all of those designs but one will be just previous/worse versions of the one that the designer worked up to and is undoubtedly the best not only when it comes to looks but most importantly strategy.

[@katkomics]

Omg! I'm definitely going to stick to 1 concept to present from now on 😭! I did a presentation similar to this for a logo for my friend's coffee shop but made the mistake of including sketches of logos in the first stage and she likes one of those! Not fleshed out or anything. 😢 Is there anyway to come out of this??

[@lindaashford7187]

Abi I didn’t see the card for the mock up video

[@iLoveWater.]

Thanks Abi! Are the photos you use in the presentation stock images that the company will need to replace if they want to use a similar layout?

[@abiconnick]

Yes exactly that! 😊

[@ZTH.04]

An another stunning video as usual Abi, great work🔥🔥, I just have a few question and this is when you send the brand presentation, does that also include the files of the logo itself? And once the files for the full brand is sent to your client, how is it then used?

[@abiconnick]

Thank you, really appreciate it 😊no never the actual logo files, I send them during my offboarding process once the client has paid my invoice.

[@ryansebastian4809]

[@abiconnick]

[@vectorsbyavishka]

Okay but I've got a question, please someone answer..what if we made a whole brand presentation for a client just to showcase the concept we came up with but the client did not like something about the logo or the concept the whole presentation we've made will be a waste right? So is it best to first show only the concepts in a pdf and show the brand presentation after they've accepted a concept??

[@shouqm4045]

Loved the video abi but i do have a question what if the client didn’t like the outcome the logo etc ? What would u do then ? I do offer my clients 3 option to choose from and i do agree with u on always liking one of them the best , would love to hear your thoughts

[@abiconnick]

Thank you! So before this brand presentation stage I do a brand strategy and visual direction stage that really dives deep into the business and the creative direction and look of the brand. From doing this it’s super clear what look and feel the brand will have, therefore no surprises when presenting the brand presentation. But there will be cars where the client just won’t like the look of something we have designed which is fine. I include 2 revisions in my contract so the design can be refined, but usually it’s only some tweaks as what I have presented fits their strategy and the vision we came up with initially! It helps hopping on a call with your client before hand to really get a feel for what the envision and give your ideas and steer them too! Hope this helps x

Is the brand presentation different from the brand style guide?

[@abiconnick]

It is! The brand style guide or brand guidelines document is completed once the brand is finished. The guidelines would tell your client exactly how to use the brand and details about the company’s visual identity. It would include things like rules and guidelines. Whereas the brand presentation is you trying to sell the brand identity and designs you’ve come up with for your client that you’re proposing to them x

[@abiconnick]

It pretty much is the same as a style guide. There is no way you have to present your work, it's personal preference, obviously it's nice if you explain your design decisions etc and show them the branding in action and how they can incorporate the brand into different stuff like social media, etc. I factor this into the cost of my projects, I don't want to create a brand for a client for them not to know how to use it properly, it looks bad on the designer if this was to happen. Don't be sorry, it's a valid question! Hope my explanation helped. 😊
