Design Guidelines
1.Readability Photo used under Flickr Creative Commons from MelkirMelkir
Use large type Minimize the amount of text and fonts Avoid fancy fonts Readability
can anyone read what this first line says? It’s really important information and I hope you don’t miss it. Example How does it look to have a different font for each line? Do you think it looks very professional? It makes it all too hard to read and you start to lose your audience, especially if you have a lot of text that keeps going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going. Do you get the point?
