• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and courage Out Again, we are day seven in the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: brand Imagery to kit. Let's take let's take an opportunity
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to understand a little bit about what's behind my brand.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So when it comes to imagery around my books and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: my author brand, I've chosen the approach of balance of
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: personal connection with such as a timeless elegance my book covers.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Each one of my book covers is uniquely designed to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: reflect the story or message inside, rather than sticking to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a particular palette or a repeated visual I like the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: title and the content, the god, the design. It helps
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: keep my book fresh and authentic in its own spirit.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I don't so per se have a color palette, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: if you look closely at my work overall, you'll notice
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that I often navigate and gravitate towards two colors, and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that purple, the deep purple, and the old goal. To me,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: these shades have always represented class and royalty. It is
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a sublant way of reminding the readers of the dignity
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and value in every story I share, and that no
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: matter what the subject is, I want them to realize
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the dignity and value in every story. As far as
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: my author's photo and pictures, I try to use photos
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that keeps things real and relatable. You won't find heavy
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: filters or dramatic edits on any of my pictures. You're
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gonna find what you see is what you get, because
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I want my readers and supporters to see the authentic
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: person behind these words. I believe in true connections, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it starts with being honest, so I want people to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: see this. As far as my logos and website, while
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I don't use a highly stylized logo, it's it's usually simplicity,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: my initials and sometimes my full name. You may see
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: q OC in some of the things, and that stands
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for Queen Up Collaborations, But most of the time you're
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: gonna see my full name. You may see Queen Angela
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: or Queen Up Collaborations. But other than that, I'm simple,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: my and and it's all authentic. I want to create
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: an authentic ye that that's what I strive for. My
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: website is likewise, it's the same. If you go over
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to my website, you'll see that it's it's it's clarity, unaccessible,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is cut and dry, it's it's it's not the whole
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: lot of elaborate schemes to it. It's just simple simplicity.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And to the point I want to be invited. I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: want people to not have to be boggle with complications
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: trying to navigate through anything that I do. So that
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that's simplicity. It's one of the main things. What is
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the meaning behind my choices? So all of the visual
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: decisions that I have, it flows from a single goal
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of being authentic and making connections. Whether it's the color
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: or the hint of quiet reality of the photos or whatever.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: That can present me as real as I can be.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I want my audience to know that they can see
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and respect that. I want my audience to know that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: they can see the natural meat, and I want to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: connect with the natural them, and I want them to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: know that it's not about me, but it's about me
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: being able to connect with them, to let them know
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that I see them and I respect them. And my
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: brand isn't about perfection, but it is about being genuine
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and welcoming to every reader. I want them to know
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that I love them and I appreciate them just as
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: they are, and I hope that they will receive and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: appreciate me just as I am. So again, y'all, that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: is the gist of my brand. You know, it's not
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a whole, drone out, long, detailed project because that this
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: is me. I'm simple, I'm genuine, I'm authentic, and I'm
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: trying to be to the point. So ask yourself this,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: what what are some elements that you look for when
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you want to support an author's brand or what makes
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you want to feel connected to the books that you
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: pick up and read, like, what connects you to what
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you are connected to? That's what we want to know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So before I wrap up, I want to thank everyone
