design elements explained

Here are some guidelines to help you produce high quality documents:
  • Use contrasting colour for text and background (light on dark or dark on light)
  • Regroup together elements that belong together.
  • Be consistent with your layout (viewers expect to find the same elements in the same places and  format from one page to the next).
  • Do not overuse special effects; use them to highlight what is really important.
