Designing Documents.
Guidelines for page design.
• Use white space (the empty space on the page).
• Use heading.
Heading are words, or short sentences that group points and divide your document into section.
• Limit the use of word set in all capital.
• Use no more than two fonts in the single document.
• Put important element in the top.
Designing Brochures.
Use this process to create effective brochures.
• Determine your objective.
• Identify your target audience.
• Identify a central selling point: one overarching reader benefit the audience will get.
• Choose the image you want to project.
• Make every choice-color, font, layout, paper.
• Polish the prose and graphics.
• Effective brochures not only repeat graphic elements (heading, small photo) across panels to create a unified look but also contain contrast( between text and images, between a larger font for headings and a smaller one for text).
• Use color effectively.
• Make a text visually appealing.
Designing Presentation Slides
As you design slides for power point and other presentation programs, keep the following guidelines in mind :
• Use a big font size ; 44 or 55 point for titles, 32 point for subheads, and 28 point for examples.
• Use bullets-point phrases rather than complete sentences.
• Use clear, concise language.
• Make only three to five point on each slide.
• Customize your slides with the company logo, chart, downloaded web pages, and scanned-in photos and drawings.
• Use animation to make words and images appear and move during your presentation-but only in ways that help you control information flow and build interest.
