A brand motif is the cohesive visual theme that a brand uses to create a recognizable identity, including elements like images, colors, textures, and patterns.

The use of a consistent motif helps reinforce an event’s theme and message, strengthens brand recognition, and sets the tone for the event.

In this video, I’m going to show you how to lay out a set of dynamic visual elements which we will use as part of a brand campaign to promote a fictional Design Exhibition event.

After this video, you’ll be able to work with multiple assets to create complex compositions in InDesign super easily!

So let's get into it!
