Guidelines for Design

Siddarth Kengadaran

Use contrast to help your designs stand out

DO take time to choose your color scheme

Choose your font palette

DON’T use too many different fonts on one page

DON'T use comic sans or crazy fonts that end up being hard to read

DO look around and see what’s out there in the design world

Never Use Black

Always start your design project with a layout grid. No exceptions.

DO make sure there is enough contrast between your text and the background

DO establish a typographic hierarchy

DON’T make the text too small

Use a grid or frame where possible with images

The Rule of Thirds

Simply place your main subject where the lines intersect.

Keep it simple
