What is Brand guidelines?

Brand guidelines set out how a brand shows up: logo versions and clear space, the colour palette with exact values, the type pairing and sizes, photography and tone of voice.

For a website they turn taste into decisions a team can repeat, so pages built later still look like the first ones.

How I use Brand guidelines

For several of the clients whose websites I designed, I also built their brand guidelines, at no charge, so the palette and type pairing held beyond the site. For UWI Cosmetics I helped build them. For Brook Capital I made the brand book and marketing materials, and at Global Preservation Strategies I handled the branding.

Where I have used itBrand guidelines by company and year, from the projects on this site and the rest of my career.
