- Use large text (your text should be at least 18-24 pt; headings 30-60 pt; title >72pt.
- Choose colours carefully and pay attention to contrast.
- Cropping, Margins and Spacing: All edges and margins should be straight and even. Don't overcrowd space and be attentive to balance from top to bottom and from the side margins. Organize your elements into columns.
- White space: (the area not covered with text or graphics): Not too much (or the viewer's eye will wander). Not too little (or you'll confuse and overwhelm your viewer)
-
