Does Your Brand Suck?

This week the Hot Young Designers talk about the importance of branding even if you’re a small, solopreneur business. They discuss what a brand is and what it isn’t, ideas for defining your niche, and how to create a brand toolkit. Its not necessary to invest big money and most of their suggestions can be accomplished spending zero dollars.
