Corporate Identity and brand expression - web style guides
In advertising parlance, a brand stands for the additive that sets a product apart from others in the same class. It goes far deeper than mere signage, symbolism or strap line. A branded product is always one up on commodities, by having its own identity. An identity that promises specific benefits and arouses expectations about quality, price, purpose and performance. Brands usually have emotional differentiators valuable to a primary audience, making them ‘preferred’ by superior experience.

Brand experience is a combination of brand persona and brand attributes that influence a user. These include, what a brand looks like, how it sounds, how it behaves, what it has to offer, the values associated with it and its purpose.

The brand is expressed by its looks - the visual systems, imagery, typography, colour palette and logo, and its sound - language system, name, building architecture and editorial voice. The level of interaction, usability, functionality and performance governs brand behaviour.

Rich media object production and integration
Media object production is primarily used to present difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand format. It employs rich media elements like audio and video to make the final offering interactive and interesting.

These media objects are ideated as storyboards and executed in appropriate media production tools like Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Director, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Aftereffects, Cult 3D etc. These objects can contain vector animations, 3D animations, video and sound – well assembled to create an interesting and communicative media module.
