Description
Os elementos gráficos são fundamentais na elaboração de uma identidade visual. Assim sendo, supõe-se, que ter um grupo de elementos gráficos comuns a todos os suportes de comunicação realizados para uma marca, ajuda a
garantir uma identidade visual forte e coerente.
Este estudo foi realizado no campo de design de comunicação e tem como tema identidade visual. Sendo que o tópico investigativo é “Qual é o papel dos elementos gráficos definidos na identidade visual na criação dos suportes
de comunicação de uma marca?”. Este estudo também foi baseado em projetos realizados durante um estágio de seis meses na Hilarious Digital Agency, em Bruxelas, Bélgica. O objetivo principal deste relatório é perceber como os
elementos gráficos de uma identidade visual ajudam, não só no desenvolvimento de suportes de comunicação da marca, mas também a manter a coerência visual da mesma. É ainda importante tentar perceber a influência
que um manual de normas, pode ou não apresentar, em termos de conservação da coerência de uma determinada marca.
Para este estudo, foi produzido um enquadramento teórico, baseado em literatura, de forma a melhor entender conceitos e o estado do conhecimento do tópico investigativo. Este estudo, também, consistiu na análise elementos
gráficos pré-definidos, permitindo assim, uma avaliação, de igual forma, entre diferentes projetos e clientes, que foram desenvolvidos durante o estágio. Posteriormente, estes resultados foram confrontados com enquadramento
teórico com o intuito de responder ao tópico investigativo.
Com este estudo concluiu-se que os elementos gráficos definidos na identidade visual são a coerência que uma marca necessita aquando da criação de novos suportes de comunicação. É ainda possível concluir que as guidelines
são benéficas para as empresas que pretendem preservar coerência e familiarização com a marca em todos os suportes de comunicação.
Em conclusão, este estudo contribuiu para um melhor conhecimento de marcas e a sua comunicação, assim como para a compreensão da importância de uma identidade visual de marca coerente.
Abstract : Graphic elements are fundamental in the production of a visual identity. Taking this in consideration, it is thought that, having a set of graphic elements common to all the communication supports helps ensure a coherent and strong visual identity of a brand. This study was performed within the communication design field and visual identity theme. Being that the investigative topic is “What is the role of graphic design defined in the visual identity in the creation of brand’s communication supports?”. Also, this study has is foundations on projects developed during a six months internship in the Hilarious Digital Agency, based in Brussels, Belgium. The main goal of this report is to understand how the graphic elements of a visual identity helps, not only in the development of communication supports, but also in maintaining a visual coherency of a brand. It is also important to determine the influence that guidelines have, or do not have, in the conservation of a brand’s coherency. For this study, a theoretical framework, based on literature, was created in order to better understand concepts and the state of knowledge in the investigative topic. This study, also consisted on the analysis of the defined set of graphic elements, allowing an evaluation, using the same criteria between different projects and clients, that were developed during the internship. Later, these results were confronted with the theoretical framework with the intent of responding to the investigative topic. In this study it was concluded that graphic elements defined in the visual identity are the coherence that a brand needs when creating new communication supports. It is also possible to conclude that guidelines are a benefit to companies that intent to preserve coherency and brand familiarization throughout several communication supports. To sum up this study contributed for a better understanding of brands and their communication as well as the importance of a coherent brand visual identity.
