Ok so a few weeks ago I was a trainer for a graphic design training and I had in my presentation a list with golden rules I'd like to share with you. I'm gonna be quick because I should sleep but I hope you'll enjoy this.
---------------------------------------------------
#1 Press shift when you resize an image. If you don't press shift your image may be distorstioned. Some programs resize it correct without the shift, but Photoshop or Illustrator don't.
#2 There's plenty other fonts on sites like 1001fonts, fontsquirrel, pixelsurplus etc. Don't limit to the basic Windows fonts like Times New Roman or Comic Sans. Everybody is tired of them. We all used TNR in school presentations.
#3 Try to avoid the margins. Don't put your elements near the margins because your work should 'breath' and the info will not be cut.
VS.
the first example is clean and clear but the second one it's not
#4 Don't use too many fonts/colors/sizes. Maximum 3 fonts. But the best is two. Also most fonts have different types of bold so you can play with those too.
#5 Your text should be easy to read.
#6 Contrast: make sure your colors match and the elements are visible.
#7 Empty space is golden space. It makes the important infos more visible.
#8 If you plan to print your work, make sure it is CMYK format with 300dpi. The print uses a different ammount of pixels, different to online. For online we use RGB with 72 dpi.
#9 Always save the .psd, .ai etc. Most of the time you'll comeback to change something.
#10 Alignment: don't use a lot of alignment types in your work. It's a lot easier to read if you keep it the same way.
---------------------------------------------------
That's it with the golden rules I think are important in design. If you have any questions or you would like to find out more about a subject feel free to ask.
With love,
