A style guide is a document with guidelines for making marketing content conform to a brand’s look and voice. In terms of visual content, this includes things like:
- color palettes
- font sets
- logos
When it comes to written or scripted content, style guides cover details like:
- voice and tone
- preferred terms
- standard conventions for capitalization, punctuation, attribution, etc.
Since style guides are designed to appeal to a company or client’s particular market niche, they help present a consistent look, tone, and message that an audience can recognize and trust across an entire digital platform.
