Hi,<br>
<br>
what you describe in the brief as Visual Style Guide is half a
Corporate Design (e.g. defining a corporate font, logo application
rules …). The Style Guide is just the documentation. If the Brief
focuses on the Visual Style Guide it sounds like you need someone to
layout the Style Guide itself and make it look fancy like the
Mozilla Style Guide.[1] Processing these design rules to an
understandable style guide is a job itself. So the brief should also
say how the result should be presented, e.g. as a subpage of what
website or integrated in what wiki. Phases could be<br>
<br>
First phase: Defining design elements and rules<br>
Second phase: Document it as a style guide practicable for the
defined target group<br>
Third phase: Design templates<br>
<br>
The brief should mention for the first phase that a brand
architecture needs to be defined. Or the UX Team or Tor staff should
define that first. Is the Corporate Design respectively the Style
Guide for the Tor Project, the Tor Browser or the Tor Network? If
for all of them or even more, the designer should define a
differentiation in the Corporate Design (same logo, different
captions? Different colors?). For comparison Mozilla has the Mozilla
brand, the Firefox family, the Firefox browser, Firefox OS and
others.<br>
<br>
For phase three: Besides the templates for slides, letterheads and
business cards, I think even more important is the Tor website as a
touchpoint for prospects and users. Don’t you think, the webdesign
should be part of the third phase?<br>
<br>
Working on all that sounds exciting to me. Simply Secure prefers to
work with designers from a timezone compatible with the
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
San Francisco Bay Area timezone, but I am based in Hamburg, Germany.
So for now I can help with the brief.<br>
<br>
