Ultimate Brand Style Guide Builder

Add more value to your work, so you can charge more, and save tons of time with this brand style guide template. It will pay for itself many times over the first time you use it.

Provided as Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher file and Google Slides!

It is already set up with six sections with real text (no Lorem ipsum!) that you can modify as needed for each client:

• Color
• Typography
• Logo
• Imagery
• Design Elements
• Stationery

It is 17 pages and features a minimalist design that you can easily modify for your own or your clients’ brand. It includes placeholder image frames and notes (on their own non-printing layer in magenta) to help you with the content. Just change the design and fill in the client-specific info and images!

Suggestions for many other sections are included, depending on how extensive a guide you want to make it.

The template is set up as 11 x 8.5 inches, but you can change it to any size or orientation you like. Master pages plus paragraph, character and object styles have been set up for ease in modifying the template.

The images show a sample finished brand guide plus sample pages from the InDesign template.
