Create standards for how your artist identity appears across social media, websites, presentations, merchandise, press, partnerships, collaborations, and other public-facing platforms.
Outcome. Write the rules that keep your identity intact everywhere it appears, including places you do not control.
Consistency is not sameness. Every surface has its own shape, and forcing one layout onto all of them looks worse than adapting. The rule is that the core survives the adaptation: the palette, the type, the voice and the promise stay, while the format changes.
Write it surface by surface. Social profiles and post formats. Your website. Decks and presentations. Merchandise. Press materials. For each, what is fixed, what flexes, and what is never allowed.
Then handle the surfaces you do not control. A partner, a collaborator, a festival or a publication will present you using whatever they have. Give them the right assets and a one page rule sheet before they ask, and you will recognize the result.
What you will produce
A consistency standard covering every platform and surface, plus a short partner and press guide you can send with your assets.
