15. TYPOGRAPHY TIPS
Kern your titles
Make sure your body copy isn’t too big
or too small for the medium you are
printing onto
Try to avoid using too many typefaces at
once
16. TYPOGRAPHY TIPS
Left-alignment is easiest to read for large
bodies of type
If in doubt, print it out (you can often pick
up on awkward typesetting much easier
when it’s on page)
19. A technique applied a lot in photography
is the use of ‘leading lines’.

Typography is arguably one of the biggest foundations of design. Type says a lot (sometimes literally) and the way you choose to execute your type, whether a heading or some body copy says even more.

For a thorough rundown of all things typography and font-related, be sure to check out this cheat-sheet full of tips, tricks and links to help you master the written word!
Let’s look at an example of display typography. For those of you not familiar, display type basically refers to the fancier, more stylistic typographical designs. Think of movie poster titles, magazine headings, etc.
Check out these magazine spread designs by Benjamin Bours, each which have had their titles custom designed intricately and effectively. This showy and detailed typography is display type at work.

I’m sure we’re all aware of what lines are, but just to be sure, lines can be defined as any linear marks. So, when you think about it, lines make up just about everything. Even these words and letters you’re reading now are made up of thousands of curved, angled and straight lines.
Lines can channel certain ideas too. Straight ones can evoke order and neatness, wavy lines can create movement, and zig-zagged lines can imply tension or excitement.
A technique applied a lot in photography is the use of ‘leading lines’ which do just what they claim – they lead the eye. Finding and emphasising strong leading lines in your piece can allow you to direct the eye through the entire piece or to certain focal points.
Lets look at an example of leading lines in web design. This webpage has a cool diagonal grid with very strong leading lines that take you down the page, from section to section, in a swift zig zag shape.
For example, check out this poster design by Design By Day that uses strong leading lines to first guide the eye toward the main focal point (the title), and then to various rungs of information.

Scale is a large part of design, sometimes literally. In a very basic definition, scale is the deliberate sizing of individual elements.
Scale can help us make sense of designs and images. Think about if you were to draw a mouse next to an elephant, you’d probably draw the mouse much smaller than the elephant, which would help viewers instantly understand your drawing.
In this way, scale helps us make sense of things. But, scale doesn’t always have to be based on realism. You can size your elements dramatically large or small to create stunning effects and to signal which parts of your design are more important and which are less.
For example, check out this poster by Gabz Grzegorz Domaradzki for the movie Drive. In this poster, the lead character has been scaled up dramatically, drawing attention to him first, and the other faces second.

I know I don’t really need to preach about how important colour is to designs, but I’m going to anyway. Colour is paramount. Colour creates specific moods, atmospheres, channels emotions and each shade has certain specific connotations associated with it. In short, colour can make or break your design.
Lets look at two branding examples. First up, we have a design by Smack Bang Designs for women’s skin rejuvenation service ‘Lite Luxe’. This design has opted for light, soft and pastel colours. Whites, light greys, soft blush tones and a copper/gold foiling, these chosen colours complement each other gently to create a calm, elegant and feminine design.

On the other hand, we have this branding for juice brand Frooti by Sagmeister & Walsh. Unlike the previous example which chose a palette that gently complemented itself, this branding has chosen a colour palette that sharply contrasts, creating a much more vibrant, energetic and playful design.
Think about any big name brand, Coca-Cola, Google, Apple, Nike, I’m sure you can all think of their logo, their general tone of voice and their general colour schemes used. Why are these things so memorable at the drop of a hat? Yep, you guessed it – repetition.
Repetition is a crucial element when it comes to branding design, both in terms of keeping your branding consistent and in terms of tying your items together.
Lets have a look at a branding example by Michelle Wang. As you can see, this identity uses a consistent colour palette and consistent logo application, right down to consistent margin spacing.
Repetition is a key element when it comes to branding, but it can also make for beautiful one-off designs. For example, repetition is a key ingredient when it comes to creating patterns and textures.
Check out this packaging design by Nastya Chamkina that uses repetition to create a beautiful pattern. Patterns don’t have to be dull and floral like dusty old curtains, they can be fun and effective. So, why not implement repetitive patterns into your next design?

To put it bluntly, negative space is the ‘space inbetween’, the area between or around other elements that form its own shape

As species, human beings are scientifically proven to be drawn to symmetry. We find symmetrical faces, patterns and designs generally more attractive, effective and beautiful.
Symmetry is used a lot in logos in order to create a harmonious and balanced design. Some examples of large brands with symmetrical logos are Target, McDonald’s, Chanel, Starbucks, etc.

Of course, symmetry is not always an option for every design, and nor should it be. There’s a fine line between a design looking balanced and symmetrical, and looking like one side was copied, flipped and pasted to the left. So instead of trying to achieve perfect symmetry, instead try to introduce subtle elements of symmetry into your design.
For example, this wedding invitation uses a high degree of symmetry, but it it’s not perfectly mirrored. Instead, the designer has chosen to adjust the illustrations to fit the type and the message in subtle ways that keep the design symmetrically balanced and ordered, but not too blatantly mirrored, creating a delicate, romantic and balanced design.
Just like you do with your photographs and pieces of art, framing your designs correctly is an important aspect. We usually think of framing in terms of photography – what you include, what you don’t, etc. But, framing is equally as important in design.
Physical frames such as box outlines or graphic elements can enhance or draw attention to specific elements of your design.
Frames don’t have to be graphic either. If you’re working with photographic elements, why not consider using them to frame your designs? Check out this poster that uses random objects to create a frame for the superimposed type. This way, you draw attention to the piece by the frame, and direct the eye to the really important bits.
Contrast is often the magical key ingredient to making your designs ‘pop’, which is a (sometimes frustrating) demand from many design clients.
In a very basic definition, contrast is the degree of difference between two elements of your design.
Some common forms of contrast are dark vs. light, thick vs. thin, large vs. small, etc.
Contrast has a great effect on readability and legibility as well, it’s a big reason why you see novels and many other publications printing in black text on a white background. Imagine if they printed using light grey on a white background. The contrast would be very low and the type hard to read. So, if you’re using type, make sure you bump up that contrast.
For example, check out this poster by Jonathan Correira and the way it ensures there’s adequate contrast against the type and image. Since this image is split in half, one side being dominantly green and the other dark grey, the type colour has been adjusted accordingly to ensure each side is legible.
Imagine if the “New York” was executed in the same colour as “Bike Expo”, the contrast would be lowered greatly and it would be much harder to read.
Contrast isn’t just a stylistic element or a legibility-enhancer, it can also act to draw the eye to certain elements of your design. This technique is used a lot in website design, let’s look at an example from Audible’s landing page.
See how this landing page design has darkened and muted the image to allow for the bright red box to contrast sharply against the background. This deliberate contrast helps to draw instant attention to the main call of action (which links directly to a signup page).
So, use contrast to make your designs visually ‘pop’, draw attention to certain elements of your design.
Composition is a nice point to end on as it is the bringing together of every other principle we’ve discussed.
‘Composition’ refers to the overall arrangement of elements in your design, which sounds a bit dull when explained that way, I know, but it’s actually one of the more fun elements of design. This is where you can play, experiment and make a good design look great.
As mentioned, composition is basically where all the previous 19 elements we’ve discussed come together. You can use scale, repetition, typography, line, randomness, etc. to create unique, effective and suitable layouts.
Let’s look at some designs and pick apart their composition. First, we have this email newsletter for J.Crew. This design puts the focus on the “30” by using scale and depth to highlight it. It also draws attention to the title by using hierarchy and placing it at the top centre of the page, making it larger than the other type, and framing it.

Here’s another random example – this time, a poster by Lab B Design Office. This design uses similar techniques and design principles as the previous one, but producing a very different result. This piece uses scale and depth by varying the scaling of the blocks of type and positioning them around and behind the photograph to create depth. It also uses hierarchy heavily, and frames the type in boxes and the image with the type.
