Basic Brief

Rules of Thumb

General

• All AT&T papers are based off pre-approved templates. The templates can be found here: data/CREATIVE/AT&T/TEMPLATES/3.2 TEMPLATES.
  • Do Not mess with Style sheets. All copy must use the appropriate predetermined style sheets for both Paragraph and Character Styles found in the template.
  • Do Not move layout around. All text boxes, headers, logos etc should remain stationary.
• Remember to put in the date on all iterations of the file. AT&T likes to see the date
• Please include file information on all files. This helps keep papers straight if the client changes the name in the future. This can be done by going to File > File Information.
