About Brand Coding
An excerpt from an interview with one of my favorite “Jack of All Trade” Designers, Mike Meiré. His work is very much worth an in depth look. To what extent can these be transferred to depth psychology, the brand?  I am a supporter of the brand evolution, because it’s about survival strategies. And life is evolution. Spirit refers to the inside of a brand. The marketing...
