A few days ago,I get an email from my friend, Francesco, he is a web designer, and writes me: “Fabio, I have to create 10 style guide for some projects, but the problem is that I have only one day to complete them, and I do not know if I can. Do you know anyone who can help me? “.

Shortly after I suggested using Brand.ai, a tool that allows you to create excellent style guide in a few easy steps. The result? The next day Francesco send me an email and I wrote: “One of these days, I have to make a statue, have saved me! I have completed my work in a couple of hours. I owe you one beer! ;)”

That is why, about three months ago, I wanted to create Resources Friday, sharing of resources and tools that can make your life easier! Are you ready to discover the resources of the week? Let’s start now!
