Dark spread annotating a white document header on a dashed clearspace grid, with logo placement, metadata alignment and headline spacing called out.
Summary
A print-rules page specifying a document header: a white sheet on a dashed clearspace grid with the Mash logo, aligned metadata block, headline, subhead and body, each annotated for placement and spacing.
Visual description
Near-black charcoal background framing a tall white document mockup overlaid with a faint dashed clearspace grid. A tiny mono header reads "PRINT RULES - HEADERS" left, "DIGITAL + BRAND EXPERIENCE" center-right, "BRAND GUIDELINES" right. Notes in the dark left margin read "LEFT ALIGNED WITH TEXT" and "ALLOW AMPLE SPACE BETWEEN MARK AND CONTENT". Inside the sheet, the magenta-and-black "Mash" logo sits top-left with a "Metadata should be aligned with logo" callout and a placeholder metadata block at right; below, a large black "This is a headline", a "Subheadline here" and a body paragraph are wrapped in pale-pink highlight boxes with x and 3X spacing markers against the grid. The deck slug sits tiny at bottom-right.
Key takeaway
Pinning logo, metadata and headline to a shared dashed grid and calling out clearspace with the same pink-box, x-multiple system used elsewhere, so document layout rules stay consistent with the slide rules. Aligning metadata to the logo baseline is a small, memorable directive.
Reuse notes
The companion to the presentation-slide spec, covering letter and document headers; reuse the dashed-grid-plus-pink-box annotation language across both. Good for brands shipping templated reports, proposals or letters. As with its sibling, this is documentation rather than a client-facing slide.
