Instructions
NOTE: These tips are only suggestions. They are useful guidelines, but they can all be broken.
Fonts
- Don’t use more than one or two fonts in you design. Using too many fonts is often too confusing and disorganized.
Layout
- Don’t add too many elements, and keep the different parts of your design clearly separated. Filling every available space makes it difficult to see anything clearly.
Color
- Don’t use more than one or two colors. Using too many colors make your design difficult to look at. Using multiple shades of one color is usually fine.
- Adding other colors in very small amounts can make your design look more interesting, but be careful not to add too much.
