What is a Style Guide?
A style guide is an essential document that provides detailed guidelines for maintaining consistency in the visual and verbal elements of a brand or product. It includes specifications for typography, color palettes, logos, imagery, and tone of voice, among other things. A well-crafted style guide ensures that all communications, whether digital or print, align with the brand’s identity and values.
Key Components:
- Typography: Fonts, sizes, and hierarchy for headings, body text, and other elements.
- Color Scheme: The official color palette, including primary, secondary, and accent colors.
- Imagery: Guidelines for the type and style of images, illustrations, and icons to be used.
