by Tisha Crews

 
 
Notice the same copy in the following three examples. Comments are in red.

Example 1: Notice the title below is Arial - a sans serif font; the paragraph that follows is in Times - a serif font. A good CONTRAST.

Tisha has already discussed three of the four elements to consider when creating CONTRAST in your publicity material. In Issue 1 and 2, she encouraged us to use color, space, and size effectively. Now she tell us the importance of using the right type (or fonts) to create CONTRAST.

Example 2: Compare the above with this title and paragraph. The only "contrast" is the bolding of the title. Which is better, above or below?. If you say above. Your right.

Example 3: Now, take a look at the same copy in ALL CAPS. You'll find it hard to read, and almost offensively loud. Thus, use ALL CAPS sparingly.
