2011Six Tips for Graphic Design Sizzle
Annotation
(CORE) With guidance from a teacher, the Middle Level students portrayed in this short video create a poster that includes important information and catches the attention of their classmates. The suggestions given in the program include the following:
• Use graphics because a picture says 1,000 words. • Group facts in separate boxes (divide and conquer). • Answer the five W’s (who, what, where, when, and
why).
• Use the Z formula which follows the natural
progression of the readers’ eyes.
• Reverse the font and catch the readers’ attention
(e.g., white on black, yellow on black).
• Avoid serif fonts (forget the feet).
This program would be best suited for the Middle Level survey courses.
