The 6 Features of Graphic Design that Sells
A well-designed mailpiece can go a long way toward increasing sales. Follow these guidelines for success with your graphic designs:
• One thing dominates the page. Whether it’s the headline or the picture, just one thing should catch the eye – not both.
• Minimize typeface variety. The best designers stick with one or two typefaces, plus the logo, per piece.
• White space. An open and airy design is inviting and friendly. Don’t feel compelled to fill every inch of space.
• Easy-to-read text. Break up the page by interspersing short, indented paragraphs with long ones, and using bullet points and bold subheads.
• Use relevant illustrations. The purpose of the illustration is to help draw attention or dramatize your message.
• Clear, visible logo and call-to-action. Get your readers’ attention and arouse their interest.
