Our brand and design system is all about creating focus and showing impact. That’s why we’ve created some clear principles and key templates for every layout.

Introduction

01. Templates

We have two types of templates: Google Slides and Miro. 
Here are the rules of using both.

The basics

When using our templates, make sure you always follow these 
rules to keep presentations and workshops feeling consistent:

How to use

We lead with our hero pairing for key headlines and type areas. Our Off White and Green have great contrast and make sure we achieve good legibility and standout and legebility in all applications.

When creating new Google Slides these are things to avoid:

Don’t edit the master theme

Replace placeholder content

Don’t use the guidance pages

How to use

Just like out Google Slides, there are a few steps you should take before editing our Miro templates. The most important is to always copy the original board before making any changes or creating new ones.

Don’t change typefaces

Don’t edit colours

02. Grids

Whenever you create layouts, always use the following grid and margin rules to ensure consistency. These rules may be adapted for some extreme formats.

The set up

This is how we determine the margins of our layouts. Divide the shortest side of the canvas by 19.

03. Layouts

We have four key layout types. These are outlined below with examples of best practice layouts, how they’re constucted on our grid, plus some things to avoid when designing new ones.

Layout types

Our design system is really versatile, and can flex to accommodate a variety of functions and formats. Here’s an overview of the ways you can use our elements 
to create different layouts.

Type only

When creating type-only layouts, go big and bold wherever possible. Always refer back to our type hierarchy page to ensure a consitent use of type styles and sizes.

Type with
impact lines

When using our impact lines and type, use these rules to ensure the elements interact in the clearest way possible. It is important to make sure that the impact lines don’t get too close to the type.

Photography

Using type and imagery together can create bold results, but it’s always important to ensure complete legibility so all our content is digestable. Type should only be used on top of art direction when there is a clear space to place it.

Illustration

These same rules apply to our intergration with type and illustration. The following layout examples show how best to balance out the two elements.
