Brand Board Style Guide Templates

Introducing the BrandMade Collection Brand Board and Moodboard Style Guide Templates sized specifically for launching your brand on Pinterest and Instagram. Now you can take matters into your own hands with these trendy pre-made branding boards that you can fully edit, adapt, or mix and match. The possibilities are unlimited with these meticulously organized, user-friendly templates, and detailed user guide PDFs. These designs are meant to be multi-purpose and can be altered for any product, service, or industry type. To assure the sharpest image when uploaded for retina screens, I have created these as high resolution templates, meaning they are larger than the size recommended. Pinterest updated their pin sizes in Fall 2017 to be a minimum of 600 pixels wide. Instagram's minimum size is 1080 pixels wide for the best quality. My goal was to create this collection for small business owners that are just starting out and not quite ready for a custom branding project but still want to develop a cohesive brand identity that can be shared on social media platforms. As a Creative Director, I have 25 years of experience in branding and advertising, and I'm often asked to share my style guides as they are intended to jumpstart the client's brand launch process online. --- WHAT'S INCLUDED: For Pinterest 1X Brand Board Template for Adobe Illustrator 1200 x 3700 pixels 1X Brand Board Template for Adobe Photoshop 1200 x 3700 pixels Detailed User Guide PDFs For Instagram 1X Brand Board Template for Adobe Illustrator 2048 x 2048 pixels 1X Brand Board Template for Adobe Photoshop 2048 x 2048 pixels Detailed User Guide PDFs --- FEATURES: - All of the high resolution designs come in both Adobe Photoshop .PSD format CS4 and Adobe Illustrator .AI format CS4 . - The templates are made up of gray boxes in order for you to start with a clean slate as seen in the 2 and 3 mockup images above .

Choosing which format to work with depends on your end use deliverables. Illustrator If you'll be producing a high resolution print deliverable out of the brand board templates, we always recommend using the Adobe Illustrator formats as the vector artwork can be infinitely scaled up and down in size with no loss of quality, resolution, or clarity. Photoshop If you're only focusing on web deliverables, and won't have a need for high resolution print deliverables, you can use Photoshop formats. As you know, Photoshop was originally developed as a tool to enhance photographs. With that in mind, you should only export out to a Photoshop file for when you are working with lower resolution pixel-based raster images for usage on web and mobile. Even though our layer groups were created with vector-based artwork, Photoshop files such as .jpg, .tif, .png are never recommended for high resolution print work, or scaling up and down in size. --- CUSTOMER SUPPORT: - We don't offer refunds on Instant Downloads, so we encourage you
