CONTRAST What draws the eye onto the page Designs to consider Style Colors Arrangement Graphics Create a focal point

DESIGN TIPS

COLORS Use complementary colors – no more than 3 colors Think of a house- 3 colors: Main house Trim Accent color – doors & shutters Light backgrounds with dark fonts is best Stay away from bright colors and colors which are difficult to read such as RED and YELLOW

DESIGN TIPS Navigation Where am I? Where have I been? Where can I go? Should answer all 3 questions Should be the same on every page

DESIGN TIPS White Space Page should be evenly distributed Allow some space between graphics and text so the page doesn’t look cluttered Use squint test Stand back, squint eyes and see how it looks from that view for layout and white space

DESIGN TIPS Have a paper plan! Apply KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid!)

GRAMMAR & SPELLING PROOF, PROOF, PROOF… REVISE, REVISE, REVISE … To, Too, Two Your, You’re Good Luck!!
