Credits & Thanks

This style guide supplements the WSU style guide and brand guidelines with HRS-specific guidelines. It benefit greatly from the Mailchimp style guide, parts of which have been adapted for HRS use. Thanks also to GDS, A List Apart, BBC GEL, and 18F, all of which are great and reflected here.
