Rule 1
Avoid similar elements (lines, font, colour), make them very different
Contrast
The keys to success
![Page 5: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Contrast
Large graphics with small graphics
![Page 6: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Contrast
Warm colours with cool colours

Example
British Gas Sale

Starts Sunday, 21st May
British Gas Sale
Best for bargains
Starts Sunday, 21st May
Your eye is drawn more to
because of the contrast.

Student Rules
Turn up to lectures on time
Hand in assignments on time
Don’t drink too much
What is wrong with this?
Switch to slide view and have a go at amending it.

Or make the lines contrast each other to group the related elements together.
You could use the proximity rules to move related items towards each other.

• Makes your document more likely to be read
Contrast should make your document easy to understand

Rule 2
Repeating visual elements strengthens unity and develops organisation
Repetition
The keys to success
![Page 15: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Repetition
Repeat elements throughout the design
Consistent Headings
Consistent graphics
Consistent lines, bullets, colours throughout
![Page 16: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Repetition
Learn how to set up heading styles and use them
![Page 17: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Repetition
Decide what will be repeated on each page
This is the design

Repetition
• Don’t forget to emphasize the unifying elements
• Don’t overdo the unifying element - you also need contrast
Unifies and strengthens a document - ties it together

Changing the font may solve your problem if space is limited - BUT don’t use too many different fonts.

BEWARE
of holes and rivers of white space within the columns of text
- caused by 2 spaces after a full stop and justification!

Alignment
• Unifies and connects elements on the page
• Organizes the page
Remember - avoid using centred text unless you want a formal look

Problems
To make something easy to read, your eyes should not have to stop more than 3 or 4 times.
Did you know which information to read first?
![Page 52: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Solution
Don’t be frightened to leave white space (or blue space in this case)!

White Space
is as important a design issue as actual text
You may find the next slides boring but they are very important
![Page 54: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Don’t put 2 spaces after a full stops
![Page 55: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Don’t trap small areas of white space - group it together for effect
![Page 56: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Avoid centred headings that trap white space either side
![Page 57: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Watch out for strange white space shapes on a page
![Page 58: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
White space between columns is important - it must separate the text so the eyes don’t jump columns
![Page 59: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Justification can cause holes to appear - it may be safer and quicker to use ragged right margins
![Page 60: Desktop Publishing Recommendations for professional looking documents L Drumm Staffordshire University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc75503460f94abca36/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
The advantages of moving related items closer together are ….
• the reader knows where to start reading
• the eye doesn’t need to stop so often
• the reader can see relationships between words
