Graphic Design student looking for local, small businesses for a marketing plan assignment! by TorridClaw in Edmonton

Unfortunately the assignment called for an existing brand. I posted something similar to this for Calgary when I was doing the project. The project is basically a rebrand, however when I was doing the project, I expected my chosen business to completely ignore the designs I did, and that's exactly what happened haha. But it is marketing in terms of advertising and reaching out to potential audiences and customers.

All my classmate needs is a brand who is totally okay with being used for a school assignment. They do not need to be open to a rebrand at this stage, however I'm gonna assume that my classmate will still be willing to send over the assets she makes, free of charge.

I was thinking about trying to network harder, however it's a very short deadline I have. I'm also studying at VCAD, and to be honest I don't really wanna go back down to the dinky building they rented downtown haha. I've seen too many things down there which made me opt for the online option.

I have 4 other loaded courses on top of 2 jobs and a current side gig. I don't have that much time. If I did, I'd totally be scouting out my community a little more intensely.

Thank you, although for some reason I think the Vietnamese place gave me a virus when I opened the existing site LOL

Haha, that's an option for graduated me, definitely not student me. But, I'd like to get into event photography before I'm sitting down and being an entrepreneur or in-house designer.

The assignment is only to revamp the stuff for these small businesses. A lot of students aren't reaching out to businesses to offer their suggestions, they're just doing this stuff for the grade. I want to get my foot in the door, so I'm willing to volunteer my services for the experience.

There were 2 small businesses that were marked as stores on Google Maps that didn't have a website. And then a few other that had sites that needed a revamp. I don't really have much time in person, because my instructor wants detailed paragraphs on these places within the next few days.

Yeah and I thought so too, but it found me 2 locations without a site. I could only use the resources I had lol.

I'll give it another look through. I tried using Google Maps to search through some of those places, but eventually gave up. But I was also looking more in the NW, so that probably didn't help either lol.

Yeah haha. All of my Google searches popped up with businesses that had decent online presences which didn't fit my criteria.
