** Keep this simple, don't let it distract you too much from the focus of the project which is your booklet. Think about how you want type to work with this media campaign, any additional colors, any graphic elements, sizes of elements, formats, etc. One way you may want to approach this is to design your booklet and let that design determine your guidelines. For example, if you choose two fonts to use for the entire booklet then list those two fonts in your design guidelines as the ones to use throughout the media campaign.
