Start with the foundations

Great branding starts with the foundations.

A logo is the easy part. What actually grows a business is everything underneath it: knowing your brand archetype, knowing how to talk about what you do, and showing up the same way everywhere your people find you. When those foundations are in place, your marketing gets easier, your whole brand starts to feel like one brand, and the right clients trust you faster. That is exactly what the Brand Blueprint helps you build.

Why I made it interactive

Because a PDF just sits in a folder.

Over the last couple of years, hundreds of people downloaded my brand planner and workbook, and loved it. But a PDF has a way of landing in your downloads and never being opened again. So I built something you'll actually use: interactive, guided the whole way, and yours at the end. You come away with real results, an experience you enjoy, and a ready-made brand board and guidelines you can keep, plus marketing tips from a branding expert.

What you walk away with

Real decisions about your brand, in one place.

i

Your brand archetype

Which of the twelve archetypes your business really belongs to, and what it means for how you speak, sell and show up.

ii

A six-colour palette

Chosen to fit your archetype, with the hex codes ready to drop into Canva, Showit, or your designer's hands.

iii

A four-part typography system

Headings, subheadings, body and accents, all free on Google Fonts, ready to use inside Canva, Showit, and any other tool you work in.

iv

Your brand guidelines PDF

Every decision you make, pulled together into one brand guidelines PDF, so your whole brand stays consistent wherever you use it.

v

Your brand board

A single image with your colours, fonts and archetype all together, so your whole brand lives in one place.

vi

Your brand voice

The words and tone that actually sound like you, so writing captions and copy stops feeling like a guess.

More than a quiz

There's a lot packed into it.

Whichever of the twelve archetypes is yours, you get the whole picture of how to use it, from your strengths to your next marketing moves.

i

Twelve archetypes

You'll discover which of the twelve fits your business, from the Caregiver to the Creator to the Sage, and what that means for your brand.

ii

Your secondary flavour

Most brands are a mix of two. You get your second archetype as well, which is what makes yours feel specific rather than generic.

iii

Strengths & the honest caveat

What your archetype naturally wins you, and the one trap to watch for so it works for your brand rather than against it.

iv

Five marketing moves

Five concrete moves chosen for your archetype, so you know exactly what to do next once you close the tab.

v

Brands in your family

A few names you'll recognise that share your archetype, so you can see the feeling out in the world and borrow with taste.

vi

Palette, fonts, voice & imagery

Two palette directions, a four-font system, your brand voice and even search terms for finding photos that fit your archetype.

A peek inside the tool

A look at a few of the screens.

These are real screens from the workbook, and only a handful of them. Inside you'll find your archetype, your palette, your fonts, your voice and a lot more.

Why it's worth it

Give it about thirty minutes, and you'll come away knowing exactly what your brand looks like, sounds like and stands for.

The woman behind it

Hi, I'm Carla.

I'm the designer behind Atelier Jouan, an award-winning brand and Showit web design studio for photographers, coaches, wellness practitioners and creative service providers around the world. My whole approach is that a brand should be felt as much as it's seen, so I build strategic, cohesive brands where aesthetics meet intention and everything finally looks and sounds like you.

The Brand Blueprint takes the brand foundations I've shaped for clients over the years and turns them into something you can do on your own, for free. Because when your brand feels like you, showing up gets so much easier!
