What I Already Knew:
- It’s important to work equally with all the team members and to not act as an authoritarian
- Make sure the style guide is public and can be easily recognized (fanfare)
- Having regular check-in meetings with representatives from each team can allow to regroup and share thoughts
What I Didn’t Know:
- Main things to focus on in a style guide are: brand and philosophy, audience, personality and tone, visual elements and resource links
- You should have the style guide written into contracts with vendors, so that their work can match your styles
- Along with fonts and colors that should be included in a style guide, you should also make clear what is not acceptable
What I Want to Know More About:
I would like to learn more about communication methods to ensure a hard-working environment that requires for the job to be completed.
