Concept rulebooks and sample images

Rulebook pages drawn in code for imaginary companies, and photos made with an AI image model. None of it is client work.

AI-generated sample images

These images were made with an AI image model to show the look and finish of the work we deliver. They are samples, not client projects, and they don't show real companies or real brand books.

About these samples. The photos were made with an AI image model, and the rulebook pages below were drawn in code for companies that don't exist. We don't publish client work without written permission, and every sample on this site is labeled.

Concept rulebook pages

Each page follows the same layout as a real guidelines spread: the logo inside its clear-space box with red measurement lines, the smallest size, a type scale built from the brand's ratio, a color bar with proportions and hex values, and three voice traits with one word to avoid. Wordmarks are drawn as bars so no real name appears.

Look at how the settings change with the company. The software company and the nonprofit use a steeper type ratio because their material is mostly slides and web pages. The dental group and the HVAC contractor use a gentler one for forms, letters and estimates, where many sizes sit close together.

Your rulebook

A real rulebook starts from your logo and from the decks, posts and documents your team already makes. Those show which rules are missing and which mistakes keep coming back. If you'd like to start with one section, such as logo rules or a deck template, mention it in your brief.
