How it fits
A shared visual direction
An EVERNET stylescape brings color, typography, imagery and composition together so you can see how a brand direction will work. It brings typography, color, imagery and composition into a coherent example that can be discussed in context.
Begin with the audience, positioning and practical uses of the brand. The stylescape should show how the proposed direction supports that brief, not simply collect attractive references. Evaluate it at the scale and in the settings where the organization will use it.
A stylescape is a decision tool. After a direction is chosen, the approved elements and usage rules need to be developed into usable assets and guidance. Do not treat every reference image or typeface shown during exploration as a licensed production asset.
What to work through.
A clear plan, from the first conversation to delivery.
Brand idea
Describe the central idea the visual direction should communicate.
Visual references
Compare a focused set of references and explain what each contributes.
Alignment
Use the stylescape to resolve direction before detailed assets are produced.
Questions before you get started.
How is a stylescape different from a mood board?
A stylescape presents a more coherent proposed direction with relationships between type, color, imagery and layout. It should help the team decide how the brand will behave. References still need interpretation and production checks before they become final assets.
What feedback is most useful?
Connect feedback to the intended audience, message and applications. Identify what feels appropriate or creates confusion, and explain why. Choosing a direction is easier when the discussion is about the brief rather than isolated preferences.
What happens after the direction is chosen?
Develop the selected direction into the required identity, website or campaign assets and document the relevant rules. Confirm licensing and permissions for production. A style guide can then help future contributors apply the system consistently.
