  1. Create a collection.In the collections sidebar, add a new collection and give it a name like “Acme Brand.” This is your brand sheet.
  2. Add your colors.Pick colors from screen, generate them, or extract them from an image, then drop them into your new collection's Colors section.
  3. Attach a logo.Add your logo file to the Logos section. Double-click it to open a resizable, zoomable preview window.
  4. Add your fonts.Drop your brand font files into the Fonts section. Pocket CVI reads their metadata and tells you whether each one is installed on your system.
  5. File the documents.Keep brand PDFs and source files in the Documents section. Anything Pocket CVI generates itself — like a design manual — arrives badged, so you always know what's what.
  6. Write the CVI notes.Use the rich-text notes header at the top of the collection to document usage, tone, and do's & don'ts.
  7. Review the sheet.Scroll the brand sheet top to bottom. Colors, Logos, Fonts, and Documents now live in one place.
Pro tip

Keep one collection per brand or client. The sidebar becomes a clean shelf of brand kits you can jump between instantly.
