Print Design Rules

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Print Design Rules

Use this document to record your notes as you go around the different posters to identify the four areas of print design. 

Have a balance of pictures and sentences.  Use in images that relate to the text. 

Have margins and align text and images. Use most of the space.

Don't use clashing colours use a harmonic colour scheme. Use contrasting background and foreground colours.

Keep consistent fronts and size. Make sure the text is legible.

Colour

Good	Bad
We can see the text	We can not see the text
We can see the text cleary	We can not see the text clearly

Composition

Good	Bad
This one has picture’s	This doesn’t have any pictures.
This shows the name of the	This doesn’t have a title.

Layout

Good	Bad
The layout is good	The text is in the way of the title
The layout is all in the right place	The profile is near the picture, and the pictures are in the wrong place. Also the title that says about android is bigger than the text.

Text

Good	Bad
This one is good because it is all aligned.	This one is bad because it is has different fonts
This one is good because it is aligned to the left properly	All the text is in a different spot.
