Brand Values (LHS) To make sure our brand identity is followed through across all media we follow these very important brand principles
Design layouts and grids/Social media profile page applications/Brochure/flyer layout options/Website layout/ Signage specifications/Advertising treatments/Merchandising applications/Copywriting style (a.k.a. ‘tone of voice’)/Editorial guidelines Brand guidelines should be flexible enough for designers to be creative, but rigid enough to keep your brand easily recognizable. Consistency is key, especially if you need the brand to extend across multiple media platforms.

4.03 Type Hierarchy IN T R O DU C T I O N
The typographic hierarchy is saved as paragraph styles and can be edited/viewed here Window > Style > Paragraph Styles D E SCR IP T I O N BC — Body Copy The main font–size used in any printed document will be 10pt. This is known as the body–copy. Do not write overly long lines, aim for around 45–90 characters.
H2 — Headline 2 This is a versatile font–size. It can be used for page headers, section headers and even small sections of type. (I.e. indents & quotes).
H1 — Headline H1 is the largest header font–size. It’s great for short lined page headers.
T4 — Title 4 This is the most versatile title font– size. At 40pt it can be used on a range of media. It is square set meaning the line-spacing and font-size are equal making it ideal when running across 1 or more lines.
T1 — Title This is the largest of the title font-sizes. Use sparingly — only a couple of words/page.

A typographic hierarchy expresses an organizational system for content, emphasizing some data and diminishing others. A hierarchy helps readers scan a text, knowing where to enter and exit and how to pick and choose among its offerings. Each level of the hierarchy should be signalled by one or more cues, applied consistently across a body of text. A cue can be spatial (indent, line spacing, placement on page) or graphic (size, style, color of typeface). Infinite variations are possible.

In graphic design, a grid is a structure (usually two-dimensional) made up of a series of intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal, and angular) or curved guide lines used to structure content. The grid serves as an armature on which a designer can organize graphic elements (images, glyphs, paragraphs) in a rational, easy to absorb manner. A grid can be use to organize graphic elements in relation to a page, in relation to other graphic elements on the page, or relation to other parts of the same graphic element or shape.

6.08 Presentations H ELP
Presentations will be produced in–house using Microsoft Powerpoint or Indesign. The goal is to communicate the brand on screen. D E SCR IP T I O N
Presentation The term “PowerPoint presentation” was coined when Microsoft introduced its software program PowerPoint. PowerPoint is commonly used by presenters as a digital aid when presenting their topic to an audience. Microsoft has called this type of software a “presentation”, which is a misnomer. Many presenters often forget that they are the presentation that the audience came to see, not their PowerPoint presentation.
