Mockup Design

An integral part of our Style Guide service is the creation of high-quality mockups, providing a realistic preview of how your designs will manifest in the real world. We understand that seeing is believing, so we bring your brand’s designs to life through detailed and contextually appropriate mockups. Whether it’s showcasing your logo on merchandise, your typography in digital media, or your color scheme on print materials, these mockups offer a tangible glimpse of your brand’s potential impact. This approach not only aids in visualising the practical application of your style guide but also ensures that your brand’s identity is adaptable and resonates across various platforms and products.

How to optimise and add functionality​

At Make Better Documents, our focus in style guide design is not only on aesthetic alignment but also on optimising functionality to meet your business’s evolving needs. We believe a style guide should be a living document, adaptable and comprehensive. Our designs include clear, user-friendly guidelines for applying your brand elements across various mediums, ensuring consistency without sacrificing creativity. 

 

We incorporate practical details, such as digital colour codes and links to font files, making implementation straightforward for your team. Additionally, we consider digital functionalities, like interactive elements and links to online resources, which make the style guide easily accessible and more effective as a reference tool. This functional approach ensures that your style guide is not just a document, but a dynamic resource that evolves with your brand and simplifies the process of maintaining brand consistency across all touchpoints.

Style Guide Design Considerations

In the intricate process of style guide design at Make Better Documents, our paramount consideration is ensuring that the guide not only reflects your brand’s unique identity but also serves as a practical tool for everyday use. We begin with a comprehensive analysis of your brand’s core elements – your mission, values, and target audience. This foundational understanding informs our selection of colours, typography, and imagery that resonate with your brand’s ethos. The design process is meticulous, with every element, from logo placement to colour palettes and typography, carefully chosen to ensure consistency across all mediums.

 

We also consider how your brand voice translates into written content, establishing a tone that is unmistakably yours. Our style guides are more than just a list of dos and don’ts; they are a reflection of your brand’s story, captured in a visually coherent and accessible format.

 

Moreover, the functionality of your style guide is a critical aspect of our design. We structure the guide to be intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring that it is easily navigable for all team members, from designers to marketing personnel.

 

The inclusion of real-world examples and mock-ups in the guide provides practical insights into how the guidelines can be applied in various scenarios. This approach not only makes the style guide a valuable reference tool but also ensures it is actively used in your day-to-day branding efforts. With Make Better Documents, your style guide becomes a vital asset in maintaining brand integrity and coherence.
