 To review the guides, click on the “Show Guides” option, and scroll to the guide you wish to review. When you select the guide to open it, the guide menu will open with a prompt alerting you to the template change and inviting you to preview the impact of the changes on this particular guide.

 The guide will open showing you a preview of the guide with the template updates applied. You can compare the changes against the old version of the guide by mousing over the “Old Version” text in the alert under "Content/Design". If you are satisfied that the template changes have not caused any issues with the guide, click the “Save” button to apply the changes. This will apply the new template changes, and return the guide to its previous status. So if the guide was public, then the changes are immediately published.

 Find a style guide template that you like and customize it for your brand to save time (and money) on creating your document from scratch.

 When it comes to branding, we all know that consistency is key, but in order to achieve that you need a solid style guide.

 This is especially true when you create a lot of branded content or work with many designers.

 However—there's a problem:

 Creating your guidelines can take a really long time—often long weeks or months.

 That's why it's helpful to jump start your style guide creation with a great, design-ready template.

 Thing about it—you have to figure out what to include, then lay out the content, design the book, write descriptions and annotations—the process can be very time consuming.

 Using template to create a brand style guide.

 Save yourself time and effort by customizing one of the templates from my list that fits your needs best.

 Whether you’re looking for an InDesign, Photoshop, illustrator, Keynote, Powerpoint or even a GoogleSlides template—I got you covered.

 Looking to creating a simple style guide or a comprehensive brand guidelines? In landscape or portrait orientation?

 No matter what your preferences are, I include on my list something for everyone.

 At the same time I also make sure that all templates are well designed.

 Check out my list of 50+ best style guide templates to download in 2021.

 I organized them into 10 categories that feature top 5 templates in each one—making it a list of 50 templates total.

 PS. If you want to learn how to create a style guide—check out my YouTube video.

 In the first category I feature just simple one-page templates, also called brand boards or style sheets—they will get you started with the basics.

 A good brand board is an absolute must-have for any designer!

 They simply show your client every element of their brand—all nicely presented on a single page document.

 Brand boards are important because they help convey brand attributes, personality, and style at a glance.

 When you view style sheets you can see every element of a brand on a single document—that's what makes it easy to access and use.

 They simply help designers (and your client) maintain a unified visual identity across the board: from colors, to logo do's and dont's to typography and more.

 In the second category I feature a bit more detailed logo & identity guideline templates that consist of more than just one page.

 These templates use master pages, paragraph styles, gird system, color swatches and other helpful tools to make your design process fast and enjoyable.

 When using InDesign, everything can be easily be changed in one location (globally) and you can instantly publish your document to the cloud or export as a PDF.

 All of these templates come with InDesign files (.INDD)—just drop in your own vectors, images and texts and you’re good to go.

 I recommend all designers to use InDesign to create their style guides, but if you’re not familiar with it—below I feature templates for other Adobe CC apps like Illustrator and Photoshop.

 If you’re not familiar with InDesign (like many designers), then check out my templates for Adobe Illustrator.

 Most designers are more comfortable with Illustrator—it’s the next best app to get your style guide done.

 Illustrator offers options for developing print and digital designs which makes it still a great option to go for when designing your guidelines document.

 For those who work on a branding project using a design-ready Illustrator template is an effective way to introduce the new brand (since Illustrator is used for logo design as well).

 That's why I’ve compiled a list of some of the best illustrator templates that come with flat, clean, classic and minimalist style.

 All of these templates come with Illustrator files (.Ai, .EPS)—just add images, vectors and texts and the style guide will be ready to send to your client.

 Choose any of the above templates to make your branding presentation stand out and look professionally.

 Don’t spend time creating your own style guide from scratch—just download one of these great templates to create your style guide in Illustrator fast and easy.

 While Photoshop is NOT preferred choice to use when creating your style guide—it can be used if you don’t know illustrator or InDesign.

 Adobe Photoshop is known to most designers which makes it a great app to create your guidelines.

 Adobe Photoshop is a critical tool for any graphic designer, which makes it super accessible if you don't want to learn how to use proper software like illustrator or InDesign.

 All of these style guide templates are available in both A4 and US letter sizes, so that you can use them successfully all over the world.

 They focus on simple clean style and a strong grid layout which makes it a perfect choice if your brand identity is modern and minimalist as well.

 As we all know—It’s easy to edit things in Photoshop (especially with SmartObjects) therefore you can customize these templates up to your liking.

 They all come with Photoshop files (.PSD)—just add your logo, edit the colors and fonts and voila!

 These templates are created in order to be used by everyone with just basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop—which makes it very convenient for all graphic designers.

 If you’re not a designer per se, then you can use basic presentation software to build your style guide—Keynote being one of them.

 Use Keynote to get your style guide done, if you’re not familiar with Adobe products.

 Keynote is an easy to use (and standard) presentation software on Mac, which makes it a great tool to build your style guide.
