Step-by-Step Guide to Use This Template
1. Download & Open – Extract the files and open the primary .AI and .ID files in their respective applications.

5. Input Brand Colours – Access the colour swatch libraries to apply primary, secondary, and accent colours throughout the document.
6. Insert Client Imagery – Drop in high-resolution images into the designated frame areas in InDesign or mask them in Illustrator. Note: Images are not included in the download; sources like Unsplash (Creative Commons license) are recommended.
7. Adjust Mockups and Layouts – Customize device mockups with client-specific branding. Use the layout grids for consistency.
8. Export & Share – Save your final project in multiple formats, including PDF (print-ready), PNG, and high-res JPEG for client presentations.
Note: Minor stylistic variations may occur between Illustrator and InDesign due to inherent differences in how the two programs handle text and vector rendering. These are normal and do not affect the overall quality or professional appearance.
