The best way to accomplish that is to build a meaningful, recognizable brand for your business. A brand needs to reflect the values and quality of the work a company puts into their product, while also helping that product to stick out on the shelf.“Building a Brand” is a series where we take you behind the scenes as Blind helps to rebrand Hamilton Family Brewery. In this episode, we meet the clients, Hamilton Family Brewery, which was founded in 2014 by husband and wife team Josh and Crysten Hamilton. Since then, their little brewery in Rancho Cucamonga, California has ballooned in size because of its growing popularity. The Hamilton's are looking to take the next step into retail, but Josh, who has been doing the design for the company up to this point, does not feel confident in creating a recognizable, stand out brand for that next phase. In this series, we'll give you a behind the scenes look at this process, from start to finish. You'll see how ideas are shaped and take the form of a new identity system, packaging, messaging, website, and ultimately see the brand launch. 0:00 – Introducing Building a Brand1:00 – Meet Blind1:27 – First client meeting2:13 – Meet Josh Hamilton2:36 – What are the business goals?3:33 – What is a rebrand?

Course Overview

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
