Brands are defined by a customer’s experience
![Page 13: The visual interface is now your brand](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/53f0e8c08d7f72e94b8b46d2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Digital products are more complex
![Page 18: The visual interface is now your brand](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/53f0e8c08d7f72e94b8b46d2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The visual system must be more precise
![Page 19: The visual interface is now your brand](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/53f0e8c08d7f72e94b8b46d2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fewer opportunities to present an identity

We should understand light, shadow, and material
![Page 23: The visual interface is now your brand](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/53f0e8c08d7f72e94b8b46d2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But these ideas need not be overused

The visual design should reflect the experience
![Page 25: The visual interface is now your brand](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/53f0e8c08d7f72e94b8b46d2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
