Brand x Web Design for Death by Dessert

*This Brand x Web Design for Death by dessert is a fictitious company for my portfolio.

Overview

Death by dessert is a cafe that specializes in a variety of desserts and beverages. They differ from other cafes and coffee shops by having a bright and relaxed atmosphere. The cafe leans more towards a cutesy style without being too feminine.

Target Audience

The target audience is between 13-40. Customers include teenagers who love to eat and gossip with friends, college students studying for upcoming exams, and families who like to eat desserts together.

Project Summary

Colors found in food were incorporated into the Death by dessert brand. The main colors are derived from chocolate, coffee, and fruits. Even though some of these colors can be construed as dark and sinister (the red created a murderous gingerbread face at one point when I was experimenting with the submark), the overall brand elements help create a fun theme.

A handwritten font was chosen to depict a down to earth brand, and the gingerbread man face pattern depicts a fun, ageless element without being too cutesy. Adding doodles to the cafe elements create a cafe with a personality, as opposed to some cafes that emit more of a business atmosphere.

Overall, the Death by dessert brand still has a bright, relaxed, and fun atmosphere that can attract families, teens, and young adults.

5 ways to brand your YouTube channel

YouTube has evolved tremendously. I remember when anyone would just whip out their phone and start recording without thinking about anything. Now, it’s become a big production. No one wants to watch a video that is bad in quality. Even if you’re message is awesome, if it doesn’t look high quality or professional, then no one’s going to watch it. Besides editing, branding will take your videos up to the next level. Here are the 5 ways to brand your YouTube Channel.

5 ways to brand your YouTube channel

Some people start filming a video and upload it without even thinking about branding their channel. If your viewers want to know more about you, then they’re going to click over to your main channel page. I know that’s the first thing I do before I subscribe to any video.

When they get to your channel, they want to get a feel for you and check out your other videos. Just like a website, if the channel looks horrible, then I pass. Here are some simple things to do to make your YouTube channel stand out.

01. Get on the cover

The first thing you need to do is set your channel art. This is one of the first things your viewer sees on your page. You can have a picture of you if it’s all about you or you can just use your logo or YouTube channel name.

 

5 ways to brand your YouTube channel work it

 

Just so you know, you only have a limited space for your channel art. Make sure you only put relevant things on there or it will look cluttered and messy. I would just have my channel name and if you publish on certain days, the days that you post on YouTube.

If you want to create your own channel art (*shameless plug* I include this in my Multimedia Headquarters package), you can use Canva. Make sure you keep the dimensions in mind. The channel art is responsive to desktops and laptops, mobile, and TV. Just keep in mind when you’re designing. You’ll want to keep a lot of negative space (whitespace or make sure you see a lot of the background)because the desktop dimensions are very limited.

02. Make Headlines
