  1. Get to know the styles.

    The document covers 23 styles, each with a one-paragraph description and inspiration links to real examples from around the world. For example, Swiss design relies on strict grid systems and strong sans-serif typefaces, minimalism on the “less is more” principle, and prestige editorial on the feel of a luxury magazine.

  2. Pick the one that fits your brand.

    Instead of mixing several styles in the same project, choose one as your main visual language: let your grid, typeface and color decisions come from that style. Collect 3–5 examples from the inspiration links on a single board.

  3. Browse the galleries.

    The 4 galleries at the end of the document help you follow the styles through current examples. The PDF is below; we also send it to anyone who comments TASARIM (“design”) on our Instagram post.
