Elizabeth Jung
Brand Identity and Website
Who is Elizabeth Jung?
Elizabeth Jung is a consulting professional with a background in political fundraising and advocacy.
Problem
Given that most work in the political landscape is relatively short-term, Elizabeth needs to constantly ensure her resume is up-to-date. She doesn’t feel like LinkedIn gives her the customization she’s craving. So, she wants to make a website version of her resume to ensure that she can be found by clients online, outside of social media.
​
How might we give Elizabeth’s career a digital presence outside of social media?
Solution
This project focused on client research to establish Elizabeth's brand identity, as well as develop a responsive website that acts as Elizabeth's resume and highlights her experience and personality.

How can we develop a brand identity that highlights the client's experience and personality?
Quantitative Data - Client Questionnaire
To gain insight into Elizabeth’s personal brand and how that should look and feel, I had her complete a Brand Identity Questionnaire that I created in Google Forms.
​
Below is a recap of the adjectives she used to describe herself, her style, and how she wanted her clients to feel.
Define
What are the key takeaways about the client and her goals?
Brand Personality Framework
After reviewing Elizabeth’s answers to the Brand Identity Questionnaire, I concluded that Elizabeth’s brand personality fit into the ‘Competence’ framework. This would be the guidepost throughout the design process.
Website Goals
In the questionnaire, I also asked what her goals and must-haves are for her website. When designing the wireframe of her site, I will keep these items at the forefront:
Proposed Brand Identity Design
Color Palette
Elizabeth’s brand style will focus on blue tones, per her direction. Since she wants the client to feel ‘calm’ on her site, the blue will play nicely into that. I decided to use a monochromatic color palette, ranging from a dark, serious navy blue to a lighter, more feminine dusty blue.
Fonts & Logo
For the fonts and logo, I wanted to use the juxtaposition of a serious, strong, serif font with a feminine, beautiful script font to showcase her ‘touch of shine’.
Icons
Icons for the site will play to Elizabeth’s adjectives of simplicity and sophistication, with thin lines and a simplistic, straightforward design.
Brand Style Guide
Below is the brand style guide created:

After the brand identity was completed, it was time to move on to website design.
Website Look - Wireframes
I started with wireframes created in Figma. Since the site will be responsive, I created wireframes for mobile, tablet, and desktop.
​
A one-page design was chosen since Elizabeth wanted to start with something simple and easy to maintain. The answers she provided for ‘Website Goals’ and ‘Must-Haves’ dictated the sections and layout of the site.

Website Look - High-Fidelity Mock-ups
I designed accent elements in Photoshop and Illustrator. In Figma, I created high-fidelity mockups to bring the design to life.
