Please keep the following in mind before using these templates:


Typography

  • It is important to use the same common words and grammar across all EIT Food communications and refer to the British English spelling standard.


Colours

  • Each templateprovides you with a pre-selected set of EIT Food colours which match the colour template of our brand guidelines. When editing the templates, you will find these in the tool bar on the left under 'document colours'.
  • If you wish to change them, please keep it within the colours of the EIT Food Brand Book, pages 38-42.
