About Me

I started building websites with a notepad file in college. There used to be something called shockwave files or flash I would use to create animated website layouts. When flash was phased out, many years ago I was forced to learn how content management systems worked with ezpublish. Then joomla and finally wordpress.

I am married with 2 boys, 13 and 16. Honor roll students.

What is Branding

In a nutshell, branding is the consistent and emotional impact of stimulus. This is also known as conditioning.

 

Just as hot iron can be used to brand steer, we are conditioned by society to feel certain ways about certain things.

 

Media triggers an emotional response with shapes and colors.

 

Branding in storytelling
