1 - Limit your fontsStick to using no more than 3 di�erent fonts in a single design. Using lots of font styles can leave your work looking confused.

2 - Bring visual hierarchy into playTypographic hierarchy is the way you stress the signi�cance of certain lines of type as opposed to others. You can do this by changing the size, position and weight (bold, semibold etc)

3 - Prioritize readabilityWhatever you design, make sure people can easily read your message. This means dark text on a dark background is a big no-no. Even worse, avoid using a small font over a high-contrast image.

4 - Avoid stretching fontsThis is a very simple rule often overlooked by many designers, even the pros. In gen-eral, fonts are created with meticulous attention to the details (shapes and measure-ments) of every letterform. Stretching a font takes away its e�ciency and value.

5 - Keep in mind that white space is NOT an empty space White space is a distinctive and valuable tool that can bring out something special from your design. A smartly-used white space provides several bene�cial e�ects. It helps put more focus on a particular part of your composition.

6 - Avoid too many rotationsRotating elements of your design can be an e�ective way of adding interest to a design. However too many elements of your work on di�erent angles can make the design look confusing. for example if you have a title rotated to 45 degrees then ensure everything else is on the same angle. When not using any rotation a general rule of thumb is to simply have every element placed horizontally or vertically.

7 - Take note of font communicationTypeface selection is hardly a random process. Merely searching through your font catalog to choose a font you personally like rarely create an e�cient end result. This is because there's a psychology linked to certain typefaces.When designing, you need to make sure your type is connecting to your audience.

8 - Using colour - Don’t overdo itIt can be tempting to use a number of di�erent colours and fonts in order to make each sentence or image stand out, but doing so is likely to look messy on the page and can cause people to turn away from your print, rather than take an interest.
