TYPOGRAPHY TIPS
Kern your titles
Make sure your body copy isn’t too big
or too small for the medium you are
presenting onto
Try to avoid using too many typefaces at
once
TYPOGRAPHY TIPS
Left-alignment is easiest to read for large
bodies of type
If in doubt, print it out (you can often
pick up on awkward typesetting much
easier when it’s on page)
LINE
defined as
any linear
marks
can
channel
certain
ideas too

SCALE
deliberate
sizing of
individual
elements
help us
make sense
of designs
and images
Scale
doesn’t
always
have to be
based on
realism.

SYMMETRY
We find
symmetrical
faces, patterns
and designs
generally more
attractive,
effective and
beautiful.
This wedding
invitation uses a
high degree of
symmetry, but it
it’s not perfectly
mirrored.

CONTRAST is the degree
of difference
between two
elements of
your design
It has a great
effect on
readability
and legibility
as well.
This design
ensures
there’s
adequate
contrast
against the
type and
image.
