As a designer, I've had difficulty for years finding a book that really spoke to me about Identity and Branding. I usually end up resorting to Internet research. While this is fine in most cases, sometimes I just want a solid book to curl up with and read. This book is the perfect solution to the problem.
The book is broken down into three main sections: Basics, Process, and Best Practices. Each one of these sections is broken down into smaller groups.
Basics: Brand Basics, Brand Ideals, Brand Elements, Brand Dynamics, Before & After
Process: Process Basics, Conducting Research, Clarifying Strategy, Designing Identity, Creating Touchpoints, Managing Assets
Case Studies: 51 different Studies
Wheeler does a great job of explaining the difference between Brand and Brand Identity. This is sometimes a difficult thing to discuss, and one that often requires tangible examples. It's all laid out in front of us and makes perfect sense. She then goes on to describe different aspects to remember. Many of these are often forgotten and she touches on each one specifically. Next, she goes through different elements that may go into the branding process (logotype, brandmark, tagline, etc.). She also discusses a plethora of other nuances that may also be important. The level of detail is excellent and she does a great job of making sure the reader is informed of all the different things that should be in the forefront of their mind during the Branding process.
The Process section really is the crowning glory of this book. Wheeler really breaks down every single step in the process. It's so easy to understand what she's describing and it's really refreshing to finally have a book that breaks it down into manageable pieces.
