Design desktop wallpapers, screensavers, office and event screens, digital signage, and meeting/Teams backgrounds
What you'll deliver
A complete Marketing & Brand Design Toolkit, including enhanced brand guidelines, template libraries, social and newsletter systems, email templates, a redesigned portfolio, video and motion assets, an icon and graphic library, and organized master source files with clear folder structure and naming conventions.
