From the intro:
“Today, society has matured, and companies and designers are finding it difficult to differentiate products and services from the abundance of those on the market simply by offering products with high functionality and quality or beautiful forms. Therefore, how to design user experience will be increasingly required as a role of the designers. One of the places to practice design for this purpose is in the field of branding design, which is the subject of this feature.”
