Here are 3 of my go-to habits when I’m working on a project. 🚨 They’re simple but make a massive difference in keeping things consistent and efficient: 1️⃣ Margins on multiple artboards Working with different-sized artboards? Measure the width, divide it by 25, create a square in the top left and bottom right, draw a rectangle between them, and hit Command + 5 to turn it into a guide. Simple, effective, and keeps things looking sharp. 2️⃣ Scaling a vertical lockup For vertical lockups, I copy the wordmark (Command + C, Command + F), rotate it 90 degrees, drop the opacity, and scale the logo up until it fits perfectly. A quick trick for a balanced design. 3️⃣ Font sizing for brand guidelines For font hierarchies in brand guidelines, I start with 12pt for body text and multiply it by 1.618 (golden ratio). It keeps the document flowing and looking polished without overcomplicating things. Design’s all about making the process smoother and the results more impactful. 👉 If you’re a business looking to rebrand, visit nonstopbrandingagency.com 👉 If you’re a designer looking for templates, check out my store: https://lnkd.in/eSDqH2uz P.S.
