Colors? Shapes?

Notice the way colors create recognition!

Shapes give us visual cues as to how to read a page.

Proportions say a lot about importance and value.

Typeface provides consistency. The general rule of thumb is to never use more than two (maaybeee three) different typefaces.

All the tea in the world won’t fix bad design!

Zombies don’t care about shapes if they aren’t BRAINS!

Build on existing knowledge by using shapes and layouts that people already know how to read.
