What It Is:

A custom project style sheet ensures consistency and accuracy throughout the project from start to finish and is a reference guide for the team. It can also be used to train new team members. 

If you already have a general or in-house style manual, a project style sheet will list deviations from the norm. If you don't use another style manual, it can be a cheat sheet for how to treat common elements.

Best For:

  • Early on in a project or before a project starts
  • Projects with multiple authors/contributors
  • Multipart projects (e.g., books with chapters)​​
  • Long term projects 

Includes:
