16. Contrast and Color Do’s and Don’ts: • Use color in key words for added emphasis • Use color to organize a page • Use color to organize information in graphs, pie charts and tables • Increase the impact of your visual with color

17. Contrast and Color Continued… • Use color to portray emotions • Add color to the most important subject in a photograph to direct the reader’s eye • Don’t use color on thin font styles

18. Font • Font should simplify language • When using fonts, only emphasize the words that need to be emphasized. • If you use too many fonts, ideas are lost and the message becomes veryhard to read.

23. Which house is for sale?

24. Proximity • D i s t a n c e between words, sentences, pictures, titles, headings, subheadings, etc. RULES: Do: • Create a relationship among elements with close proximity. • Use WHITE SPACE to draw attention to something

25. Now, which house is for sale? THIS ONE!!! Now you can see which is For Sale because the proximity is closer!

26. Proximity • Don’t : • Stick things in the corners or in the middle to fill empty space • Put too many separate elements on a page • Leave equal amounts of white space between elements • Put elements close together that don’t belong together!

27. Focus Elements used to attract the reader’s eyes. This design is a good example of FOCUS because the designer used a dull background and put the turquoise bracelet at the very front .

28. White Space • It calls attention to something • Blank space free of text or graphics • DON'T confuse white space with dead space. White space is intentional; dead space is not. Dead space is merely empty pockets of space without a purpose. TEACH
