    Professionally designed Adobe InDesign Template

    Style guides (and most other design documents) are rarely printed these days, so it doesn't make sense for templates to be in portrait A4 or US letter. We create all of our templates to be optimised for screens, and to include all the best formatting options InDesign has to offer.

    • Full HD 1920x1080 template, perfect for modern screens
    • Auto-updating Table of Contents, Page Numbering, Section Numbering
    • Formatted using a rigid 12x6 grid system
    • All Images Included

    Everything included, so the hard work is done for you

    Have you ever spent your hard-earned cash on a template that looked beautiful in the mockups, but only to be greeted with lorem ipsum copy and grey boxes where the images should be when you've opened it in InDesign? If so, you're not alone. That's why we include real copy and have licensed the photography.

    • A full working example of a tech/workspace company brand guidelines
    • All the photos you see in the mockups are included in the template
    • Real copy used throughout, that you can use, reword or replace in your projects
    • Free fonts, with download links and suggestions for alternatives

    Guidebook and essential InDesign tutorials included

    Having a great style guide template is all well and good, but you need to know how to structure content, how much is needed, and what you can include to go the extra mile. Plus we've included tutorials to make creating your ideal document a breeze.

    • We'll guide you through asking the right questions so you create the best product

    A style guide template, designed for professional services companies

    This style guide template has been designed expressly for professional services companies.

    For forward-thinking firm’s with established market branding norms that want to use contemporary storytelling methods to create real brand awareness.

    In my 20+ years of designing for brands I spent around 6 of those years designing in-house for professional services companies.

    Creating guidelines for corporate, professional services companies presents its own set of styles, rules and challenges, most important of which is how to balance market expectations and legacy design cultures with newer, fresher, more contemporary styles.  

    The Finsbury template is ideal if you're working for:

    • Legal companies
    • Consulting firms
    • Financial corporations
    • Other services-based businesses

    Unlike most free or premium style guide templates, when you open up one of ours you are not met with an almost blank document that looks nothing like the mockups - grey boxes instead of images, lorem ipsum script instead of real copy, and hard to follow formatting.

    Instead, with our templates you get:

    • All the photos included
    • All the real copy included
    • The table of contents and page numbers update automatically
    • Fonts are included (via a download link)

    With this template I'm distilling over 20 years of creating style guides, over a third of which has been spent working in the professional services market. From now on you can confidently deliver an amazing style guide, fit for a company with a super-high budget and one eye on their brand journey - every time.
