Creating a Visual Identity Manual from Scratch
“Hi! Thank you so much for taking my course and getting here. I hope you can put into practice everything we've seen. Before saying goodbye, I'll leave here some tips for your final project: • Have your logo ready and approved to work on the visual identity manual. If not, I've made the "Fictional Files" feature available in the "Get Ready to Create Your Playbook" unit. • Make a brief outline of the table of contents, listing everything your manual should cover before going into the authoring software. • Tip: if you are going to do the constructive mesh, do it before anything else. It may require minor tweaks to your branding. • Remember that each brand is unique and has different needs. • When making the manual available to your customer, try to make file naming easy and straightforward. • The printed manual is not mandatory nowadays, but it is an important piece and should be considered.
