What I've learned in journalism school and in current literature about
graphic design is to maintain a certain amount of uniformity -- it can
be the font type or size of photo or color of the paper. This
uniformity will give the reader a feeling of order and system. An example
would be to make the title Arial at 28 points and the body text Roman
at 12 points -- throughout the pages. Elson Emily L.

Or are there members among us who would like the text to be part of their presentation in a more artistic or adventurous or individualistic way? |
