Beware of gradients

They can look bad when they are projected.

The type of font is also important This is a font called Times New Roman. It has

little curves at the ends of each letter. It is a serif font. When using a computer, the image is created by pixels. These little curves make the pixilated image hard to read.

This is a font called Ariel. It is the same size as the font above but it is a sans serif font (without the little curves). Notice how much easier it is to read.

Use motion, sounds, and graphics wisely.
