Capturing Readers' Attention with Design

There are a number of ways to grab the attention of your readers using graphic design. These are a couple of ideas:

• Enlarge a graphic or photo of something small to cover a large area.
• Tilt an image or a block of type at an angle.
• Surround a small element, such as a block of type or graphic, with lots of white space.
• Use a solid black area or large white area in a design.
• Crop an image in an unusual way.
• Set important information in an atypical way, such as in a distinctive (but legible) font.
