It was much more difficult to find an inspirational graphic standards manual than I imagined it would be. Thus, I think out of the manuals I looked at, which was a great number of them, the graphic standards manual that Spunk created for the College of Design for the University of Minnesota is inspirational to me. Additionally, I think that the simpler the graphic standards manual the easier and more likely users will be to follow the guidelines in the manual.
Very true– simplicity and ease of navigation are key– but, still adhering to your own standards while doing that is the trick!
