A fashion brand's core is built around a brand book, a collection of its creatives, including ethos, colors, fonts, and content, that serves as a roadmap to create a distinctive voice. Establishing a brand ethos by identifying three key values helps guide the development of colors, fonts, and content. A visual identity board, such as Pinterest boards or Instagram collections, serves as a strategic tool for creating content while drawing inspiration from competitors and other sources. Leveraging technology, like presets, can also streamline the process of building and maintaining a brand's visual identity. By embracing inspiration and avoiding the need to reinvent the wheel, fashion brands can focus on developing their unique voice and aesthetic.
