"A brand bible establishes the voice and personality of a company, as well as who the public will see, and it governs every aspect of communication from the company. The brand bible is the basis for all interactions on behalf of a company – personal communications, social media, advertising and design. While a brand bible focuses on many things, it primarily focuses on design.'"

My role appears to be the creation and maintaining of the graphical and design elements of the show, I expect to be creating the graphics for the show such as Logo's, Lower Thirds, Stings, Social Media and website assets. My job role will also include the act of playing out the graphics on screen, for example this would be things like scores or lower thirds which come up during the show.
I would need to be able to quickly change or create graphics on the day of the shoot to reflect things like scores, or even to adapt to the ever-changing story of the show.
The style bible would require me to create and maintain a document which serves as a set of guidelines for what the style and tone of the show will be, this allows for a third party to come in and create graphics or assets for the show which follows the style and tone of everything beforehand. This would include things like fonts, sizes and colour schemes using colour codes rather than names so the creator can get the exact same colour that I did.
I expect to role to be difficult in the fact that I will need to create many graphics for the show, I have never done something which so much graphical work however I believe it would be within my abilities to create the graphics and the Style bible is a good way to keep things consistant within the production.
